Mikec. According to your profile, you're 23 years old, essentially just starting out.

I think you should listen to those with a LOT more experience than you have.

Tgrayson is absolutely right on this. Now, I will SOMETIMES add in the heading, as I will an assigned airspeed, but it is for the reason mentioned above, I DON'T like the assignment, and want to subtley prod ATC to modify the clearance.
