    Hey man, look me up while you're down there. I report there in the morning for light duty. Coming back from an injury from falling off my load. Look forward to meeting you. :)

    I have read your thread and am glad you are doing good enough to do light duty. Bad deal getting hurt right after starting.... No long term effects I hope?

    Anyway, I go to orientation on the 22nd and am looking forward to it. The only thing I don't like, really, is that fact that I got to ride with a trainer for a couple weeks. But, that is why I picked TMC, they do the best training,,,right? LOL

    Later bro..

    I am going to orientation on the 14th. In regards to training, tarping is dangerous regardless how much training you have.

    True, but this is true as well; "The MORE training you have, the LESS dangerous tarping will be".
