Yes remember what the badge goal process is for. It is to recognize
achievement as you progress into a soaring pilot. Each badge is a little
more difficult then the last. The whole process is to encourage a pilot
to continue Soaring. For most of us it has become an addiction. Treat it
as such. You will learn a lot along the way. Just know that once you
accomplish the badges, you can also realize the difficulty you had and
that those after you are going through.
One rule to remember. Have fun doing it.
Also I second the iterations to have a competent Observer to help you
not only Observe your attempts, but also help plan it before you
attempt it so the attempt is not in vein.
