Don't buy your pants 1 size bigger like she'll tell you to. She thinks all pilots are going to put on 50 lbs the first year.
Don't buy the pleated pants she'll tell you to. You'll look like MC Hammer, and that just ain't cool.
Don't put money into that screwy flexible health insurance savings account thing she pushes. It will only cause you headaches later trying to spend it.
Vic knows the Saab well, so listen up in class and don't be "that guy".

I agree that pleated pants are for guys above the age of 40, however they are more comfortable when you're sitting down because they offer more room. Try the uniform pants on that management brings in because I guarantee you that the M&H sizes WILL be smaller than you think. I normally wear size 32 and I had to get a M&H size 34. I agree that you should wait on contributing anything to the flex spending account. The time to contribute to it is if you know you will be spending XXX amount on new contact lenses, prescription drugs, surgery, etc. in the coming year. Otherwise, you will lose any unspent money in the account at the end of the year.
