I don't mind working eight hours in a day; it is reasonable. It gets a lot less reasonable when you impose a five hour gap after the first five hours; then, no matter what you do, you're stuck with a bunch of time you can't use productively or even entertainingly.
What I really dislike is when the Army fills those final three hours of class time with stultifyingly boring material that we have to somehow stay awake through. Answer honestly: if you were required to be at work at 0430 (remember that you must arrive half an hour early to be considered on time when it starts at 0500), would you still be awake at 1800 when the instructor was going over how to interpolate? How to fill fields on a manually-computed spreadsheet?
In other news, either the simulator is easier than actual flight, or I shouldn't have too terribly tough a time being a pilot.
