I was a pretty crap baby officer, in all reality, with far too little life experience having gone from boarding school to Dartmouth with only eight months in between.
Much the same here, albeit a few years later on. Chopped at the end of EFT (low level nav a bit iffy, I tended to sit and watch the world go by...) and learnt a lesson or 2 about the process. Now teaching PPL/CPL/ME etc and understanding what's so annoying about an indecisive student!!
