Just in case anyone is wondering why these 2 weeks weren't filled in with detail, it shows how things were going on in my "early-formation" life. Things were hard, and starting formation was a brand new ball game. It was an entirely different type of flying. Two aircraft, two separate areas of brand new responsibility, and even the ground operations were entirely different!!! Ohh eyah, and we were flying 5 feet (wingtip to wingtip clearance) from another airplane!!!! =0

These two weeks were interesting. The "ball crushing" was brought on in traditional fashion. But the part that I didn't do well with was when certain IPs would say what I like to describe as the TOP GUN stereotypical phrase "Its not your flying, its your attitude." I can take bashing of how I fly, but when its said that I have a bad attitude, thats when the rock met the hard place. Nonetheless, I got through it, and would eventually form solo and complete the T-6 syllabus.
