I came home from a nice day of radar problems to find my door kicked in (literally laying on the ground) and all our laptops and other personal items stolen. That said, for about $20 dollars we could have had insurance for the entire three months.

Tip Two: If you're enroute, don't sweat non-radar. It's not pass fail (although they are thinking of changing that). If you're terminal, don't sweat it because you've got about a 95% overall chance of passing.

Tip Three: Have fun on the weekends, get together with your class (man, we did Sky Bar one too many times) but keep it within check - $8 bucks an hour pretax goes by quick.

Tip Four: Keep your head up - it's a roller coaster at times but you'll make it through.

Best of luck! PM me if you have any other questions about it.

Great advice!! I will definitely look into the insurance. Were you hired OTS?
