TD - 1

First day of briefings complete. Like any military environment, it's all powerpoint until you get to your flight rooms.

We ran the PFT just before lunch. The altitude DOES have an impact but it's less than most people make it out to be. If you're in good shape, it shouldn't bother you much. Just don't go out at 5 min pace like this guy.

A big hint that was passed around all day by the IPs was that IFS is about procedures and positive attitude. If you get those down, the rest comes with time - and since we don't get a lot of time, they're more concerned with seeing that you can actually learn the procedures and don't wig out at the first sign of stress.

TD - 2 has most of the core academics for our upcoming A111 test. I'm taking tonight to get some study mats in order.
