Week 1 in the bag

Well I finally made it... 12.5 hours driving straight to OKC.

Day 1 - Officially sworn in as a federal employee, they talked about benefits, retirement plans, ect. I received my ID and am all good to go

Day 2-4 - Received basic instruction on Airports, NOTAMs, radar, orginizational structure, SOPs, LOAs, and other important rules I need to know.

I've gotten a 100% on all 8 of my end of lesson test and have my block test on Monday.

This weekend I'm going to a AAA baseball game here in town and on Monday I organized a bowling/study night to prepare everyone for the block test. About 10 people from class are coming which is nice.

I emailed my facility manager at PWM to find out more information regarding the amount of time I need to go from OKC to Milwaukee to PWM. I requested a report for duty date of June 30th which gives me just about a week off to come home and get my stuff and take care of some things.

Thats all for now
