Thanks Jess but the big day is actually tomorrow!!!!!!!!!

Butterbean 1bad bad looked into that grant thingy in GA that's where we are too. If you do that Central will not hire you when your done w/ school. They are only hiring the ones that go through their school. I notice you are in Doraville, We are in Lawrenceville and I grew up in Chamblee. Cool to see a neighbor on here. Yes it is very hard the 1st 2mths you are out. But I have been told it will get better. If you have tax money coming in just use it wisely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I can be any help to you or your wife just let me know I am less than a 20 min drive from you.

I'm looking forward to the adventure. My wife is going to be retiring in a few years and plans to join me on the road. She has no interest in driving, just wants to ride along. We have family spread out here and there across the country, so she can easily hop off the truck for a month or two if she gets bored.

Man I wish I could go now.
I am doing the same. See you on the road in May!

Actually im in douglasville but still not to far away maybe 45 to a hr we go to Bass Pro Shops near you guys sometimes But thanks for the info I was told same thing by Sarah at CRS that you cant go to another school and work for them But I was going to try and get hope but about 2 years ago I got hope to take a electrical course I wanted to take for my current job So now I can not use that option again so I am going to use company school but yeah money is tight thats for sure so thought it would be a good thing to use income tax on to pay a few months bills ahead of time being it might be a couple months between a paycheck with school and all but it will all work out in the end But thanks for the offer for help no wife just me right now but ill be sure to get with you guys if I need anything and you do the same Im very glad I found this post everyone has been alot of help if the people you meet on here are anything like everyone else at CRS then it should be a good company to work for I know there is no perfect job but good people help Have a good day and once again thanks alot
