    Unless the traffic comes up and greets me and strikes up a conversation, and especially if it looks good and if of the female persuasion I should be fine, ama.. :)

    He's back on the bus, heading to Prime. Should get there Tuesday morning. They wanted him to show up Tuesday for roll call, even if he was supposed to pick up where he left off on Thursday. Dunno what they will have him do those two days besides re-pee test and what not.

    He's re-arrived at Prime and is redoing everything in the orientation except the physical. Well, the pee test part and I don't think he has to fill out all those papers they give you at the beginning. All the classes and simulations though, which is fine by him, since he wanted to redo the pretrip class stuff anyway.

    So, so far, so good on Round 2.

    Not good news. They (Prime) are sending my husband home again, DQ'ing him medically due to his "tremors". The doctor (not the one he'd seen before at Prime but other one) was uncomfortable clearing him to train, despite the neurologist having signed off.

    I'm disappointed, of course, and frustrated/irritated at getting the thumbs up to send him back just to get a call today saying he was being sent back home. It seems a waste of time/bus ride/bus fare. I can't help but feel a bit jerked around.

    At any rate, this ends our Prime endeavor. I wish everyone else safe driving and best of luck in their training. For us, it's back to square one.

    Take care.

    sry to hear that. Thats why you guys need to avoid these big companys. If you can afford school, try smaller companies like Watkins Shepard, WEL Companies, Millis Transfer, Epes
