I've thought about this doing something like this for a while now and this seems like a good vehicle to do it with. These are all my own observations, hopefully I can post one each day of this course.

The good, the bad, and the Intro!
Hello to all,
I've been trying to decide to go with the good, everything is fine, these classes are great, I have such a sense of accomplishment intro, or the bad, I should have dropped this program after the first class, this is a full time work load program disguised as a part time one, my wife and kids hate me when I'm entrenched in these classes, I'm in a sleep deprived stupor and find it hard to function well at my job or with my family when taking these classes (AD645 was the exception). I guess I've had a week of normal sleep so I'll go with the good one.
My name is Scott Poarch and I have been working at Sikorsky Aircraft in Stratford, CT for the last 23 years, all in engineering. I've had the opportunity to work on aircraft designs for every branch of the service as well as some international military programs (Japan, Austria, Australia). In 2006 I was promoted to a Project Manager on the US Navy's MH-60R program. I started my MSPM nearly on the same day and this is my 10th class towards my MSPM. I do not use e-commerce at all in my job. I generally work in middle management, middle meaning trying to get very blue collar, unionized, mechanics, electricians and inspectors to build helicopters faster so very white collar senior management won’t hammer me on a daily basis.
Other than that I'm very soon 47 (2 weeks) and have three great kids. A 14 year old daughter, 12 year old son, and a 7 year old daughter, not to mention a very understanding wife (less so with each passing class!), without whom this pursuit would be impossible. Besides my day job, I coach soccer and sing in a 50’s Doo Wop group that’s been together for 19 years now. So for all of you first timers, give your family a hug and kiss tonight and tell them they can have you back in 7 weeks, because you wont have time for anything else!
I hope everyone has a great class and I’m looking forward to working with you!
Scott Poarch
