Initial Training

[wowie]

Hi fello aviators,
I am a young pilot who has just applied for the Australian Army as a pilot, I am just writing to get more information in regards to the training they put you through and what sort of interigation is involved.

If you could tell me more about these subjects it would be most helpfull and if you could include some story's about your training whether it be in Australia or not

Wowie,

Start digging that fox-hole. It will become your home where you can sweat in with your rat-pack and muddy water as you 'sleep' between all those extended crew duty days.

First,

• Several bottles of New Skin to paint over blisters.
• Cover with sticking-plaster (get beaucoup very large ones).
• Cover that with plenty of DuraPore surgical tape (get 2 or 3 rolls!).

Then...

Get used to running in boots.

Also (very important)...

Do not even consider losing your weapon. Even if you do enjoy low-crawling and other fun motivational exercises, this would spell very bad juju.
