Meet for Brissie ATC Trainees
Definately keen to catch up for the SE Qld people before heading to the big cold. I think there are 4 of us at the moment. Got my medical on Tuesday which they booked for me.
Thursday is good for me as I work in Brissie.

I'm happy for either the thursday at 1530 or saturday at 1300. Yeah, I'm asterisk'd in the list as I haven't officially heard yet, but had my reference checked, which *seems* to equate to "you're in", just a matter of when :P Hopefully I will have heard by the meet up :P
The Brekkie Creek was always the watering hole of Bris ATC
Occasionally the Hammo for evening events.
Then there was the Spruce Goose.
One at One Anyone?
Good luck folks.

It's been 11 long months, but we finally signed off from the Academy last week.
Very exciting, though the sphincter factor has now jumped up a few notches.
Everything seems to be happening quite suddenly after all those months.
We've all got about a week's leave to pack and move to our new locations, some much further than others
, before we start the real training next week.
Hard thing is, you become such close mates in a relatively short period of time, our partners and kids as well, but being a tower course we're then flung off to opposite sides of the country.
Nice to have been able to catch up with the instructors for a few pints before we left. They do everything they can to get you through and you need to soak up everything they have to offer, whether it's giving you grief when you mess up or a back-handed compliment when you get it right.
It's a great feeling after you pass that last exam and people pop over to shake your hand. Everyone seems excited for you, whether it's your coursemates, instructors, blippies or even the girls at the front desk.
Without a doubt the hardest, most intense year I've ever had to go through, even if you discount the financial pressure you're under if you're the main breadwinner.
Good luck to all you newbies starting, pay close attention to max1's advice, especially the stuff about not being in competition with your course-mates, it's vital that you help each other out.
Fivel, social butterfly that he is, might say that he's maintaining sanity by bonding with his course mates, but you'll often see him helping his mates out in his spare time.
If ever there was a team game, this is it.
Finally, good luck to all the guys and gals who're still slogging it out at the college (both Tower and Enroute), it's been a blast, looking forward to our paths crossing again in the field.

Hi all,
Sorry for the late reply, have been away with work for a few weeks.
Congratulations to all who have been successful!
I was given my phone call a few weeks ago for a start on the tower course 4th Jan 2011. Very short notice but I can't wait! Have not stopped smiling since!
Be good to hear from others on the same or following courses.
Good luck to all those who are still waiting.
Regards.
