    Congrats on making it to boot camp! :)

    Two things to remember:

    1. Until you fill out an I-9 and W-4, you are on a very long job interview. Act accordingly.

    2. Do *NOT* ask Wally where to put the quarters!

    3. Have fun! :)

    Lol, and take the sims seriously. We had a couple guys from our class ramping at the bottom of the down hill obstical course, and crashing on purpose, don't think they ever saw the millennium building lol. Definitely no drinking, no women of ill repute lol (true story, ask stan if he doesn't bring it up.) and like msjamie said, behave and act like you have half a brain. some of the guys and girls to a lesser degree, were total a holes when dealing with staff and instructors. we even had one dude threaten to sue prime lol. oh, and pay ###### attention, it helps!

    When you have your permit, the person sitting next to you is your instructor.

    Once you have your CDL and are in TnT, then that person will be your trainer.

    And yes, smooth shifting comes with practice. You'll just have to find your own cadence.
