    Well finished up with last day of orientation. Issued all cards, slapped on the backside and away I went. Talked to my Trainer for a few, I'm suppose to head out on the 20th but he just got a new truck and there seems to be some license plate snafu. I guess it will all come out in the wash, lol. Very glad to be out of Trenton and maybe hitting the road. It's a long three weeks, three days, and I think Bill had his fill with us. :biggrin_25523:

    Met some good people and will keep in touch with them if possible. I'll be documenting my travels on this thread until training is over and I get issued a truck for little o' me. Be Safe! :biggrin_25521:

    Thanks, Yeah it goes by fast at times but you find yourself getting bored at times too.

    I only talked to my trainer long enough to swap phone numbers and he told me about the license plate issue. He was headed to Louisiana at the time from Alabama. So we'll see, I'm so fricken anxious! lol:biggrin_2559:
