One week down

Training will no longer be an annual requirement. For me it will be something that I live and breathe. My old career field spends a lot of time on simple tasks that we do ad nauseum. The Loadmaster career field demands that each member be fully trained and qualified (current and qualified) on all [...]

The cassette tape effect

In the first of many instances of dating myself, I’m using a metaphor for cassette tapes as my post title. What in the world is he going to be talking about? Read on intrepid explorer of the internet. [...]

Almost done

I’ve got one last day of cramming ahead of me and I still wonder how I am supposed to retain all of this information. I’ve picked out the most important bits and pieces but there are still thousands of them to retain. Studying sucks.

I need to register for a math class on Friday. [...]

Halfway through my books and halfway through my study time

Jessica and I have been busy as of late with the limited wedding planning that we can do at the moment. Yes, if you didn’t read my previous post and follow the included link you would have missed the fact that I proposed. Today we went to golf course and checked it out after [...]

40 days

I’ve got 40 days to become the ultimate know it all. The test has been looming over my head for a year and I’ve got to buckle down, stop goofing around on the internet, stop goofing around watching TV, and stop goofing around writing useless blog posts (for the most part) so I can [...]

31 days, 744 hours, or 44460 minutes

Irregardless of which way you add up the numbers, I’m going to spend a long time away from work. I have a bunch of leave available and I decided, hey, why not take a bunch of it all in one giant go? I won’t be traveling far from home during the duration of my [...]

Down to the Wire

I have not posted in quite a while, for I have been wreck for the last month. I am trying to get about 3 quarters worth of stuff done in half of one. It’s been crazy. I have been spending many night with only 3 hours of sleep and a lot of time studying. [...]

Camping, studying, leave, and an airshow

Jessica and I have been trying to study this past week but distractions are slowing down our efforts. She has got a few days left of school and she is cramming to get it done. She pulled her first late night session of trying to get it all done – I told her that [...]

Night-shift Ninja

For the next few months I’m going to be the designated person that is going to work nightshift. I’m the only one working but I think I’ll be able to keep myself motivated and on task (well, aside from a random blog post here or there). I’ve got an important test coming up in [...]

The Economics Party

Scott Adams, scribe of the popular Dilbert comic, may be on to something with his “economics party”. I’ve been intrigued by economics for the past year or two and I often wonder why our government decides to ignore economists. These guys study markets and how they interact – they can typically tell us if [...]
