Great stuff

Where are you gonna do your training? keep us posted on progress

I remember I could not sleep the night before if I knew I had traing the next day vhpy

Tip - Weather is not always gonna play along - Make peace with it, hard I know

Enjoy - And remember even though the bulk of what you will do in training is circuits - The fun only really starts once you leave the circuit vhpy

It's almost like going on a first date - your heart beats, your palms get sweaty... and then you leave for the airfield! :shock:
