Form check PASSED!

Feelin' good in the neighborhood...My formation buddy and I both passed our form check today. We had our share of downgrades, but as they say, "A kill's a kill." Let me detail all the typical checkride day events that occurred:
- We were on the opposite runway that we're usually on, especially for this time of year, which changes the departure/arrival procedures and just messes with your typical flow.
- I went to step and found out my G-suit had been condemned and had to get fitted for a new one right then. The life support dudes took care of me though.
- We chairflew the whole profile twice through with me winging out and leading back, but when we briefed it up, the IPs decided to have me lead out and wing back.

Despite all this, we flew a solid sortie, and managed to avoid doing anything hookable. Thank you, God.
