New Stuff!

Old news from last week's test: I'm now at 3rd with a 97.47%.

Yesterday and today, retired Senior Chief Jerry has been teaching us the PDUs (power distribution) and how to initialize them. Starting to follow the schematics now, learning what relay turns on what circuit, to what piece of equipment. Gave us a quiz this morning that's helping us learn how to use the Tech Doc for referencing specific information... and tomorrow, there's going to be one on tracing some schematics. Should be pretty difficult... I needed help a couple times today, just to wrap my head around it... but I did get it so far. I'm enjoying doing something more than just book-learning from dry power-points... for the first time, really. Sure we've had labs in the past for operating the system, but it's not the same. This is like a combination of methods... hands on book-learning. :)

Tuesday we had Dress Blues inspection after Quarters, which went just fine, and this morning was PT. We were promised a hard workout with the instructor, but he deferred until next week, as his PRT is tomorrow.
