Flight Screening Program (FSP) - typical day

Hi guys,

Long time reader, first time poster. This forum is a great resource.

There are a few threads with very useful advice on the Flight Screening Program and OSB - in particular this lengthy one. In all the browsing, however, I haven't come across many answers to one question - what does a typical day's schedule at Flight Screening look like? E.g. wake up times, downtime, amount of classroom theory etc. Is anyone able to advise?

I understand, for example, a typical day at BFTS looks like:
0630 Brekky
0750 Morning brief
0800-1650 Ground school/flying
1650 Stand down
1800 Dinner
1900-2200 Study period

Is FSP quite similar?

Browsing the threads, I've seen just one quote from dmcleod 11/07/08,
"There will be plenty of time to study. You do 1 or 2 flight max a day the rest you have to sit in the common room and wait for everyone to finish. There are also more mass breifs and the Navy do a breif aswell." Any further advice (on this or pertaining to FSP/OSB in general) would be much appreciated.

Lastly, I'm on the FSP/OSB for May 2 - 16, so if anyone wants to get in touch, share ideas or just chat, let me know!

Cheers,
Jonathan
