actually, he's in my area, towards Eglin...i am his primary instructor till he gets into the MSF...

and I have a feeling he'll be my last "student"...shit's too stressful to teach people...then I always worry when they get outta my sight...

He's doing great btw, one of those jerks that does things pretty much great from the start...had to tell him to STOP leaning in the parking lot of the school when we first started...he didnt even know he was doing it, almost gave me heart failure, I've NEVER seen a newbie do that...but i guess the dirt experience does help...

I gotta admit, you can't help but listen when your istructor is rae! She kinda catches your attention!

it just felt natural, that and every once in a while i have to remember to keep my knee in....so use to putting that foot down in turns...i remember to keep the foot up, but the knee just goes and probably not a good idea when wearing jeans and riding on the street. Maybe my instructor will allow me to go out to the track in october to actually see what its like and how well i perform on the spot...
