With a Type II these days I start on September 1, since none of them were sent out before time. I kept doing turnarounds and by the time the war started I had done six 'patrols'.
Set aside a few days (you'll need it) and give the GWX manual a read.

Indeed I ventured into it yesterday when I was trying to remember how I set the pilot course for the Kiel Canal and it appears to be somewhere in the 600-800 page range........
Hell I've read Tom Clancy books that are shorter than that.
