UPT days. Final check ride included a 'point to point' for the high altitude penetration(military version of a STAR). Depending upon what area you had done your airwork in the entry into holding varied. Guys would really be sweating this.
I told a group discussing the various possibilities - "deliberately miss by a couple of miles to get into the sector you prefer, update as you get closer, you'll be in a turn hitting the fix and you just continue the entry into holding."
Guy looks at me - "I'm trying to find the GD fix and you're talking about deliberately missing it?!?!"
