Heading to Tunnel Hill orientation 6/25

Hubby doesn't like to sit still, especially while here at home. He has to always be up and doing something. Looks like I'm gonna have to tie him down!!! Lol :smt079

 

Your skeering me LOL

you an instructor at tunnel hill?

 

Well, hubby is doing good at staying off of his foot, keeping it elevated with ice.

Our recruiter emailed us some information about orientation in Tunnel Hill. I will list it here for any of you that are curious and like to know things ahead of time (like I do)...hope this helps.


Orientation will take place over three days. We will be staying at Baymont Inn in Dalton, Ga. It has continental breakfast, and shuttle service 24/7. It says if you are a single driver, you will be rooming with another driver. Here's a picture of the motel.

You must be in hotel lobby at 6:30am on first day class, so you can be shuttled over to orientation.

Paper says that every candidate will take a road test, drug test, DOT physical and a physical standards test. It doesn't go into detail what each test entails.

It also mentions the pet policy - $50/week deducted from paycheck until you have paid $500 total non-refundable and $10 pet fee each week. Pet polices will not be authorized for aggressive breed dogs.

STUDENTS please be ready to go with your trainer following orientation.
