New Uniform

I just received my new flight suit. (well, new to me, not new though).  Since I am now a senior, and have a rated slot I was issued a flight suit for my new uniform.  A few weeks ago I flew to Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio for a Class I flight physical.  They ran so many tests.  The testing lasted 8 hours a day for 3 days.  They did chest x-rays, dental exam, dental x-rays, EKG's, color blind test, depth perception test, hearing test, a 4 hour psych evaluation, urine and blood test, a ton of eye tests, etc.  Luckily the Department Of Defense paid for my ticket, but I got over 5,000 sky miles.  I was extremely nervous to go to the flight physical cause thats where a lot of people get disqualified.  It can take up to 8 weeks to hear back the official word if I passed or not, but the doctor said not to worry about anything.  They have to send all the results to Head Quarters, and Head Quarters has the official say wether I pass or not, but I unofficially passed.  Now I just have to hope that enough people didn't pass and I get bumped up to a pilot spot.  My commander is thinking that I will find out in the next month or two if I get bumped to pilot, however it could happen any day until I graduate in April.

Here is me in my flight suit.  Currently I am on track to become a Combat Systems Officer (CSO).  This Job replaced Navigator, but they do so much more than navigate.  The flight suit is so comfortable, and I will get to wear one wether I'm a pilot or CSO.  The only place they train CSO's is in Pensacola, FL.  We have been looking a lot online about Pensacola, and the more I learn about CSO's, the more I have decided that I won't be too disappointed if I don't get bumped to pilot, however I still really want to fly.  If I get bumped to Pilot I will go to training in either Florida, Mississippi, Texas, or Oklahoma.  I'll keep you posted.
