    SO... Day one done. Since I'm a noob, didn't have to do a road test, but fitted for uniforms, did all the CBT (computer based training) that I needed to complete. Personally, CBT isn't a good training tool, due to simple regurgitation of facts, not learning anything. And also finished up medical. That was a 5 hour fun trip. most of the folks in there after about an hour of sitting were cutting up with each other so bad, they had my sides hurting on some of the jokes.

    At least the hard part is complete.

    Very similar to the original one, but they have you pick up a crate that has 80lbs in it, take one step back and set it down. Then repeat and put it back on the table. They don't discriminate either. 3 women are there and they had to do it as well.

    As for the road test, as long as you graduate within the allotted time that is on the website, then yes, no road test; cause we're gonna have a trainer to mentor us for 6 weeks.

    That makes sense. I thought it would be odd to have students do a road test. And I'm not worried about the physical. If I can pass Maverick's I can pass anybodys. How early/late were you guys going today? Also my recruiter never answered the phone today. Kinda worried now.

    come to find out, Monday's are pretty busy around here, so give 'em a shout tomorrow. Today was a long day due to medical, I got out of there at around 18:30 and had to pick up a guy that was finishing up his road test shortly there after. Just remember to have patients when trying to hurry up and wait.
     
    Flareblitz Thanks this.
