Well, I don't know if you know this, but behind the scenes we actually call the Aviation track the "hybrid" program, so you'll be doing half-and-half AC and SA even though it's called Space Academy. Don't know what else to mention.

I know Dr. von T still comes by... I saw his exclusive parking space parked in the other day. If he's decided to stop giving his talk (which was extremely inspirational to me the first time), that's quite unfortunate.

Woohoo! I graduated!

Woo! Very cool. Happy birthday, Star Wars!

Cool! I should really sit down and talk with some of you "old timers" sometime about how the place used to be.

Umm... you wanna hook me up with one of those?

Missing something on site? I know sometimes I would have random flashbacks to locations around the place, so if anybody wants me to go snap a photo of something random, just ask. If I can't go there (for instance, I have no reason to go to corporate, and I'm not sure if I'm allowed on the floor with...

That'll be really cool for her. Wooooo! I really want to get a ticket, if they're still available, but I have no clue if I can get the time off. Need to submit the request ASAP, though.

Yeah, it is cool how it kind of just sets up the second half of the week. Woo! I really, really can't wait for the kids to start coming!

Oh yeah, that. Cool. How much of that scenario is new, anyway? That's really cool. The only problem, which I easily discovered when we did the run as counselors, is that the target area is just too far away from both bases! It took me forever to get there! I did shoot a few guys down though (which I...

Whoa, I missed the initial post... congratulations! And cool, I'll watch that!

Jason... somehow I missed what T-Ops actually is... what is it? That may have been one of the day 1 briefings I missed.

Secret even to counselors? Wow, that's quite secret! Come on, PM it to me or something! So, here's my attempt to summarize up the first week. I arrived late, on Monday, and was escorted over to Hab 3 at the lake to my room. I was then told, at about 8:10 PM, that I could not begin training without m...

Huh... cafeteria has wireless? That's new to me, no one actually mentioned that before. Never seen a cafeteria abbreviated as cafe before, either... usually cafe means café... but nonetheless, good to know.

What cafe are you all talking about? I'm not aware of any cafe...

In replacement for a blog, I almost think we should just have a thread where any of us here can post and everyone else can just post in-thread. Sound good?

Sweet. I'm wondering if I'm going to put in my 2 weeks notice to leave before the program, or perhaps try to get the 4 days off and stay on for another week or so. We'll see... all I know is I'm really enjoying myself!

Yeah, it is diverse. Very cool people, though.

Well, that was a quick name change! Here's a little explanation of my call sign. What I looked like two nights ago: http://www.nattybump.com/images/whosit.JPG And, after leaving Hab 3 at about 8:10 and rushing to the mall before it closed, then driving back: http://www.nattybump.com/images/dunno.JPG

Word of advice to people who might want to be a counselor in the future expect alot of training crammed into a short time. That is entirely true. However, I do feel like they're teaching it so we can learn it and I'm absorbing a lot of stuff the first time. Yeah, Vincent, go ahead and make me Cast ...

If you're focused on space and astronomy, you're of more utility in a space-oriented program. Period. It's a more effective use of your experience, expertise, and interest -- for you and management. To decide to toss that aside so that you could "go green" for kicks is a fairly short-sigh...
