<p>Wow I haven’t been here in a while. 2014 appointtee’s already. Seem like yesterday Eagle,Ramius, and Hornet were doolies passing advice to my daughter Potterfan, Petko, and several others. This thread caught my eye because Potterfan is pursuing RPV’s, and hopefully will know more thhis spring.</p>
<p>Futureafacadet I just looked at the most recent posts, but agree with Petko “Make Friends”. Potter did CAP back at Nellis (Home of the Fighter Pilot), it is also were she got to experience UAV’s (RPA’s) up close and personal. The kid who was her Cadet Squad Comm in CAP was a year behind her in HS. She was his 1st Sgt, and he was always very Cocky. Well Potter entered the class on 2011 back in the summer of '07 and left him and CAP behind. She went back at Christmas and he told her he would be going to Annapolis. Well turns out he ended up at USAFA Prep. Again she saw him during his time at Prep (still Cocky), and she tried to remind him that you really dont do this alone. </p>
<p>The next summer while he was entering 2nd BCT he was introduced to his new Cadre including Potterfan. She worked very hard to remind him all summer long that he wouldn’t get through it alone. He was still cocky. This semester has been very hard on him. He regularly see’s Potter because she is his 1st Sgt (He is learning not to be cocky).</p>
<p>He will make it through recognition, but it has been very hard for him. He has begun to realize the “Fighter Pilot” attitude he entered with really hasn’t served him well. He has grown, and both Potter and I hope he will continue to succeed. Now I like this kid a lot, but I will tell you his USAFA life has not been easy, and I hope he can repair some of the bridges he has burned.</p>
<p>Listen to the good advice of Petko “Make Friends”</p>
