ma1988 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Murphy's Law, which should be renamed B Co's law, is that you'll get whichever airframe you *didn't* study for. It never fails. Lol, I'm sure that will be the case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shainbourassa Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 AR95-1, FM 3-04.203, aeromedical, 40-8 would all be helpful; those will pertain to your entire career. But as Lindsey said I would just enjoy the free time as much as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as Lindsey said I would just enjoy the free time as much as possible.Good references. If you're really feeling froggy there are Sunday afternoon classes at the tech library on a rotating schedule which is posted on the front doors. I might actually go to the airspace or other non-airframe specific ones just to get myself back in the game after being on hold for so long.

StockTrader Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Just saw your edit. Pre-WOBC...well I went through the old BOLC system so someone like Stocktrader will probably be better suited to answer that question, but you could start looking at CVID (combat vehicle identification), if you're a street-to-seater then look at how a CAB is organized and broken down, and the symbology for it. Those are the only things that stand out in my mind, but that was well over a year ago.Trust me when I say you will not have to study anything before WOBC. It really is that easy. And CVID is broken down barney style for you. You'll know which ones to study when the time comes. I was hammering at 5's and 9's but now im relaxing before SERE. Ill get after it again once they give me a definite on airframe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was pretty easy, overall, but IFF is more than just passing that one little test. If you already have a CAC (not for you street to seaters until you're there):https://rocv.army.mil/index.php?agree=yes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wont say on an open forum why its easy but...if you possess common sense, the CVID test will be the easiest exam you take in all of flight school.

CharyouTree Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) I understand that some people arent visual. Wont say on an open forum why its easy but...if you possess common sense, the CVID test will be the easiest exam you take in all of flight school. I took it 8 years ago. I'm aware of how easy it is for some people, myself included. I was also in Panera this summer watching a group study for it, and they were having trouble telling the difference between two rather dissimilar US made helicopters. It's not "easy" for everyone. a) It's an annual requirement, when you actually get out of flight school. Its ease is variable based on how the AMSO/whoever sets up your ROC-V vehicle matrix. I promise you, I can make one you'd fail. Hopefully they're still using the same attention-getter at the beginning of the class on why it's important.
