    I did have question. Regarding leaving the hotel. I'm a grown adult I know check in says 6pm or before. Does that mean I shouldn't leave to go anywhere after that? I just don't know how strict they are, wouldn't think I'd be treated like a child but I do wanna follow the rules, I feel like I'm being watched everywhere, haha

    why do you think your being watched do you see cameras in the room i asked my recruiter about smoking she said not in the hotel room but i was free to go out side anytime and smoke you should be able to go anywhere you want after check in you have your own room key don't ya as long as your in class tomorrow morning that should be all the counts me personally if there going to put me in a hotel room and not allow me to go out after class to like a restaurant or wal mart I wont be there too long just like I know during class you have to wear polo style shirts and pants but when im back in my hotel room I'm wearing a sleeveless shirt and shorts

    Well, I'm naturally suspicious of new things. No my letter didn't really have rules per se. Yes wear polo style shirts, I'm wearing my button down collared shirt, hope that's sufficient. It did say no firearms or alcohol in the rooms, which is fine cause don't drink, it just caught my eye, as did be at the hotel by 6pm. Probably just me being nervous/excited. Just want to make sure to follow everything to the T as I know I'm not hired yet.

    I'm the same way suspicious about new things too I also don't drink or own any guns so no worry's there I also plan to act do what is asked of me while in class and training but like I said once I get back to the hotel for the night the polo's and pants are coming off and sleeveless shirts and shorts or going on lol I have been told the first week your not gonna have much time to go off an do things either orientation and training can be long days but I will have to go out to get food and on the Saturdays were off I would like to go out an just see the town a little even if it is small
