Anybody know if we're now ok to do the Sept 8th JeppFD app update? I thought I had seen something saying to hold off on that.

Also, do we need to wait for an official ok to upgrade to iOS 8?

And I agree with kprc1 said except this part. You need to be smart about your study habits. Restrict alcohol consumption, spend the majority of your time studying, but take breaks! Get plenty of rest and exercise while in training and eat as healthy as you can. Rest, exercise and good nutrition will help your brain function optimally. Having said that, training is not time for partying and living it up or dealing with other stressors in your life, if possible. Try to get as much of "life" taken care of to where you can let it run on autopilot for a couple of months. Tell your loved ones not to expect you home for 2-3 months, but that you will stay in touch as much as possible. Then focus your attention on training and living a healthy lifestyle and that is about it.

That one doesn't have all the LOAs in it, I don't think, but it will answer most questions.

You can update Jepp. Don't update the ipad to iOS 8 yet.

Or, in prior121's case, make sure you have a good gym membership, a bunch of games like Wolfenstein on your iPad, and at least 35-40 hours of content ready to go in your Netflix queue.

It's not rocket science--it just seems hard the first time you go through it because you're scared of failing (which is a good thing). Kind of like when you lose your virginity.

Just be ready to say how much you can bench press.
