In your mind your Leader can do no wrong

Your Leader demonizes outsiders

Loyalty's the ultimate measure of your devotion

You don't know you're in a Cult

Signs u might be an #AerospaceMedicine nerd, part 6 🤓: you fly, work, travel, & shoot with earplugs, always, bc you were trained about the importance of occupational hearing protection & conservation.👂🏼

[NatCho @natachac]

Signs u might be an #AerospaceMedicine nerd, part 5 🤓: when flying commercial, you peek in the cockpit to lay eyes on the pilots, & know that they are held to FAA medical standards that require them to see an Aviation Medical Examiner every 6 months (if over age 40).

[NatCho @natachac]

Signs u might be an #AerospaceMedicine nerd, part 4 🤓: when flying, you always travel with Afrin, just in case you or someone you know has a sinus or ear block.

[NatCho @natachac]

Signs u might be an #AerospaceMedicine nerd, part 1 🤓: when flying commercial, you avoid wearing synthetic clothing materials, bc if your aircraft catches fire, you’ll be less flammable.
