Also, I think the reason you havent heard from the other EK joiners is because I dont think internet access is as readily available as we would like it to be when you first begin...also not to forget the huge amount of work that you are fed in your 5 wks ground school
any spare time they have is probably spent working out where the hell they are and sleep zzzzzz. There really is a massive amount to take in in the first initial weeks.
Cheers
