Lindsey Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Thanks all! Still charging hard at instrument, CFI, and CFII. Definitely want to work at the school I am training at. I can't wait to teach the dream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heligirl03 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Congrats, Rindsey! I know you're killin' it because you've pretty much fallen off the radar otherwise... Then again, that's all part of making it to The Dream, right? Can't say I've been any better!! We can catch up when we're on the same job one day ps. I like how your avatar is still the Schweizer from S50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsey Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I know you're killin' it because you've pretty much fallen off the radar otherwise... Hehe, considering it's taken me a week to get back to this, I'd say that's a safe bet! Full time flight school on top of full-time pumping jet fuel will do that... And now, off to the RHC Safety Course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBuzzkill Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 You are killin' it Lindsey! Keep up the good work and get yourself a Go Pro already and post some vids.

matas Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I read this thread and thought... Yup I think I can... I also love how it happened in Seattle (I'm Lithuanian but born in Seattle) so I will definitely tell it to everyone in Chicago where I live near today. I'm in NJROTC and don't have plans on joining the military (my dad was in the Soviet Navy, and he doesn't want me in any countries' military) but I am serious about becoming a helicopter pilot and maybe EMS one day, I want to move back to Seattle and fly helicopters there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsey Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Well, things have definitely come full-circle. I am a newly-minted CFI as of an hour ago! What a ride--I love this stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindsey Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 After all your hard work Lindsey you have got to in an "OGE HIGH" right now! Congratulations! Actually, right now I am doing homework for grad school due tonight (I know, right?). But after this is done, BRING ON THE COLD ONES. It's also really neat reading back through this thread and seeing where I'm at now. Puts an even bigger grin on my face than the checkride result.

Adrenalineperspective Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I've had PRK. It wasn't a bad experience. I'm not going to say the first 1-2 days after surgery feels great but tolerable. Besides, they give you plenty of good drugs. I would compare the feeling to having sand in your eye. The most important thing i can advise is to abide by the recovery parameters the doc outlines, it worked fine for me. I know others who disregarded this advice resulting in a more difficult recovery. I had a bedroom prepped, with windows covered, etc., in order to create a completely dark room. I had surgery through military and have no complaints 10 years later. I do agree with your opinion on military docs though. Sometimes it's like you are a lab rat for the new guys to learn on. In all my research, PRK seemed to be the winner (and it was the only approved option for spec ops) but I still feel it was better. Hope this helps.
