‘A’ School

I love NFAS (Nuclear Field A School), it sucks. I know what youre thinking… NFAS is an awesome place the instructors are always here to help you no matter how simple or complex youre problem or how smart or stupid you are. But being in the building everyday from about 0600 to 2000 really sucks the life out of you. Theres so much information they put out everday, and we take on average about 20pages of notes. Im surprised i retain as much as i do, let alone any of it.

My class average is a 3.3 on a 4.0 scale. I myself am at a 3.2, which isnt really acceptable, since i have scored as low as i did, i go in every morning and get basically like a 1-on-1 tutoring session for about 30minutes every morning. which is great i really appreciate the instructor being there so early. Then i sit through class, finally lunch comes around i either 1)bring lunch to eat  and study in the building, or 2) go to the galley eat really quick, to fit in a quick bit of studying. and then class starts again, and i am  in there until 1600, YES! class finally ended… oh wait! i still have 2-3hrs of homework and i still need to study.

I used to be the kid that never studied and still managed to pull a B average- the school here, is alot harder than i ever expected. I wish i would have taken class on this at Sierra College before i shipped out, it would have made things a whole lot easier here. Here there are very few students who manage to get away with putting in less than 10hrs a week, and in my class few people put in less than 20, i myself average about 25hrs every week. I love it here, love learning so much everyday, but do wish that sometimes things would just slow down a little just a little bit (or maybe throw in a few extra holidays) .
