How to get into big machines?  

Drop the military talk.. If you want to make it into the Heavys, you first neeed to loose the "I flew in the military!" attitude.. second, you are no longer in charge! and you are starting over again and have to listen to other people telling you what to do,and how to fly the machine . It's way diffrent than what you are used to. third. you will be doing a ton of stuff that you didn't have to do in your previous life as a pilot. keep your mouth shut and LISTEN...You dont have to do an ILS approach to all your landing or drop spots! Dont cut anyone off in a daisy chain, and if you are on fires.. It's not a race!... wait your turn for the dip or find another one!.

Dont keep saying " We didn't do this in the militarty!" You are no longer in the Military!... BE HUMBLE!. And One of the most important advice I can give you is.....DON'T WEARY YOUR FLIGHT SUIT EVERYWHERE!... You are not flying in the hotel/motel lobby, you are not flying in the resturant, you are not flying int the bar!!!!!. leave it in the aircraft!... you look dumb!!!!!!.. good luck!..
