Default Re: Typical day at OKC?

I'm here right now.

Class days are what you would expect. 7:00am - 3:30pm or 3:30pm - 12:00am (as of now, 3rd shift coming soon for tower training). Breaks every 45-60 minutes. Enough time for lunch. Nothing special about going to class. You get off, usually go back to your 5 star establishment and waste the day away so you can do it again tomorrow knowing that you are one day closer to getting the frick out of there.

Bring 3 different wardrobes wherever you go. When it's 70 degrees outside and you are sporting a short sleeve shirt, 10 minutes later it'll be 20 with freezing rain. I'm only 30% kidding. When the wind is under 40kt, it's considered calm. Walk between two buildings and you just found an 80kt wind tunnel, enjoy.

Weekends can be fun. If you got a cool class, you'll go out and bond. When you go out and see half of the people that you see everyday at the academy, you know just how many options there really are out there to go.

Every Saturday at 12pm there will be a tornado

For me, it's been an experience. I'll always remember my time here and the people I've met. I'll especially remember it when I have to come back for radar training sometime in the future
