My uniforms showed up at my
crashpad today. I knew they were on
their way for the past two months but there was just something exciting about
it today when the box showed up and I tried them on to check the fitting.
I’ve been waiting my whole
life for this. I mean, I didn’t
seriously think about becoming an airline pilot until the last three years but
even as a little kid it was something I’ve always wanted to do. That’s right, I look cool!
I also had an ear mold made
today for my new jet headsets. No more
big clunky headsets that I’ve been wearing for nine years to block out all the
noise of the propeller(s). Now I just
have a device which is nothing more than an ear piece connected to a microphone
and a couple of wires that we are required to use while talking to air traffic
control below 18000 feet. Won’t even
mess up my hair.
It’s getting close – I’m
starting to feel it. Checkride in 9
days!
