    Physical went with no problems.
    going in a hour to take the written exam at the DMV.
    kind of nervous although i have studied a lot, but guess thats normal.

    exam is done, got the learners permit and ready to go.
    waiting to hear from the recruiter as to the next move.
    I am scheduled for the 27 to start.

    quick question, for the training it says birth certificate required, i have yet to
    receive that, and probably wont for quite a while, they had a 8 wk waiting time.
    will this effect me? is it that important to have when you show up?

    What a LONG 3 weeks, 11 hour days, and so much info that i think not only did my brain wrinkle, but it folded in half. *lol*

    There are some photo's of the lewiston terminal i took if anyone wants to see what its like to go through class there.

    http://drivingbig.tumblr.com/

    there were 3 in the class, we got lucky, its picking up, the next class in this sunday is said to have 16.

    I went and took my state driving test this morning, started off the guy giving the test pulled up the wrong name, and though i was someone else that surrenderd their license. Once that was done, the test went ok, cant say i did my best, because i was a bit nervous, but hey i passed, thats what counts, stopped by the dmv and got my paper copy of my new license.
    I have orientation on the 26th for a few days, so i will be out of contact for a little while, then back home and wating for a mentor to take me out.
    its been a LONG and expensive process, thats for sure, funds are running low, glad to pass the first time , and get things going.
    Hope to see you guys out there.
