Cons
The reserve phase is demanding and requires adaptability, discipline, and strong time‑management skills. While challenging, it has strengthened my resilience and operational readiness. Friends and family often struggle to understand the unique lifestyle and early challenges of aviation, making personal boundaries essential for maintaining focus and morale.
