Hey guys,
I've been on OJT for 2 weeks now and, from what I've seen so far, I'm not expected to do much. My security clearance hasn't gone through yet so I'm basically limited to surfing the net and giving occasional PC advice :. Given the laid back atmosphere at work, I feel that the next few months would be the perfect opportunity for me to learn something. The question is what.
- I know that I need flight hours (I currently have none) so I'm planning on getting a few hours under my belt at the local flying school (pretty expensive though). How many hours do you suggest I go for? The cost of getting just a recreational pilot's permit (25hrs flying, 40 hrs classroom) is $6000. Would the CF pay for some of it? ;D ;D
- I looked into the OPME's. The next course is offered in the summer (which I can't attend because of AMT, SERE, sea survival) and then again starting in September. My date for PFT is either September '06 or January '07.
So what do you guys suggest? Is there anything else? I know that if I find something productive, my superiors will be supportive and give me leave from work/internet surfing.
