    Ellenwood Orientation,
    I’m going to orientation on July 6th and would like to know if anyone has
    done orientation there.
    How many drivers do they bring in there at a time?
    Did you go out with a trainer right away or did you have to wait a day or so?
    How did you get to Ellenwood?
    If you drove there did you leave your car there and was it tough to get back after evo 1.
    I’m in Orlando and I thinking about flying up there, but I’m a little concerned that they won’t have a trainer available and have to go back home and wait for a trainer
    After evo1 how did you get back home and did Roehl pay for you trip home?

    Thanks,

    Did you ask your recruiter what their thoughts were?
    as far as trainer availability, it depends upon what division you're going into.

    lets see, they refund you if you drive there,
    trainers it just depends on who is around with time left or launching that day nearby
    sometimes guys go right from class into a trainer truck, others go home for the weekend. Figure most guys launch on monday...
    as far as making it, when you pass orientation or rdtc 1 out of 4 will be here a year from now... quit, fired or didnt make it throught their evo's, most because they didnt realize the lifestyle until they got out there
     
    Winger Thanks this.

    I was there last year. Went there by bus and was picked up by the motel shuttle at airport.

    Orientation is a couple days long. They put you up in the Howard Johnson.

    You will do a road test and a backing test.

    Also they test your blood pressure and you do a physical.

    Started with 12 finished with 6.

    After that 6 passed I believe only 2 are still at Roehl now. Some got a trainer right after orientation but, I had to go home. It only took about a week and I had my evo1 trainer.
