    Good point, when I was a teen, Rocky's was great! My age is a little under reported here, I graduated in '80.

    IMHO only, I think it best to not worry a whole lot about learning to fill out a log book from the school. Each company will likely, or at least should, go over this in much detail on how "they" want it done. Becoming familiar is okay I suppose, but in the end, you'll get their lesson too meaning you've seen two ways to do it.

    the community college i went to was very thorough in log books. in fact we had to start logging everyday. also did some "trips" and did logs.
