First Impressions........ This looks much better than I anticipated.
I've been in Eve for many years, and estimate I've spent over 90% of my time in hi-sec. I've ventured into null sec on numerous occassions (have a couple pilots there now) but feel Lo-sec is cold, scary and many times outright unforgiving. It is populated with folks that enjoy making my life miserable. Most of my solo trips into nul are short lived, and usually result in a fast trip home, minus my ship plus costs for a new clone.
Your program looks to be exactly what I need. It looks be both well planned, and well documented. I'm looking forward to training with you.
Kudos to your OPs team.

Welcome to OUCH!
NP, I've been in this situation before with the similar names. Actually, only a few pilots address me as Psy, most combine my name into PsyLon which is fine with me. Maybe that will work during my time in OUCH and eliminate potential confusion when I'm online.
I attended my 1st OUCH training class (Merlin instructing) on Sunday. Great class, I had a good time and learned some new things. It shows that even old dogs like myself can learn a new thing or two when given good instruction.
I wish this program existed in 2006 when I began playing Eve.

... So that explains OUCH's purpose today, but why do I and the other core members stay? Because the core truly is a great bunch of guys to hang out with. We are low drama (except when Bren switches from scotch to coffee...). We enjoy teaching noobs and experienced Care Bears (it fulfills the desire to give back to the Eve community). !
I can't agree more; this corp is exceptional. I'm still working my way through the OUCH program but I can safely say that joining OUCH was a great decision.
Things I like about OUCH.....(from a student perspective)
- The premanent members play/work together; they're not a group of disconnected pilots pursuing their own agendas.
- Teamwork , staff and students, working together as a unit.
- The commarderie displayed among the Ops team, fun to listen to and often educational to nul/pvp newbs such as myself.
- Members, staff and students alike, are friendly and helpful.
- The training modules, well thought out, well planned, and presented by capable instructors; moreover, they are fun to attend!
- All questions are answered promptly, in TS or in the forums. In OUCH, you have lots of experience to draw from.
- Best of all, OUCH shares this knowledge and experience with carebears like me. Thanks OUCH!

If you are new to Eve, or new to Nulsec/pvp, let OUCH teach you the basics of surviving and thriving in nul. This is not a 4 hour crash course that takes you immediately, and most likely unprepared, into nul sec. The OUCH program is a self paced, progession of training, that will ease you into nul as you acquire the skills needed to survive in nul. You'll never be totally safe, but if you practice what is taught, your chance of survival will greatly increase.
The lessons learned from my time in OUCH have improved both my gameplay and my enjoyment of Eve. Consider joining OUCH.....

What does the typical person do when they discover a 'great deal' or have an 'exceptional experience'? Well, I tell my family and friends, so they can get the same great deal/experience. This is exactly why I recommend OUCH to everyone I meet in my Eve travels.
My time in OUCH continues to be an exceptional experience and I learn even more each time I fly with this group. The OUCH program is run by pilots who are not only knowledgable and friendly, but passionate about sharing their knowledge with the Eve community. Their commitment to ongoing training, assessment, and improvement assures the OUCH program will continue to be both relevant and beneficial to all who complete it.
If you want to increase your survivability in nulsec and want to learn basic PvP, come join us. |

I joined OUCH after reading some great posts from both students and foes. It sounded like a great program but you never really know until you actually try it. Eight short weeks later, I've graduated. Although I've had a bit of training in other corps, I've never felt the level of success and accomplishment that I got out of the OUCH program.
What makes the OUCH program different, and better than other programs?
Several things come to mind: great organization, great core members combined with exceptional leadership througout the corp, great training material and the list goes on.... However, the same things can be said of other training corps such as Eve Uni and Agony.
One aspect that sets OUCH apart from other programs is that OUCH has defined graduation requirements.....
Students can't can't complete the program by simply attending classes, or going on a roam. Each student must successfully complete a solo nulsec travel run without losing their ship, and be involved in 10 'real' kills out 'On the Bubble' before they graduate from the program. The OUCH graduation medal must be earned.
This is one aspect that made this program both enjoyable and satisfying; I had to earn that medal.
I totally enjoyed my time with OUCH and I've since rejoined the corp with a different pilot. I'm looking forward to sharing what I've earned with any who chose to join OUCH. |

If you are new to Eve and not sure where to begin, OUCH is a great 1st stop in your Eve journey. They'll teach you how to survive in the hostile space of Eve Online. |
