    Farm experience to recognize the trainer in rut and police experience to fend off his advances? :)

    Been a while since I had a trainee. Hopefully the next one can keep up and doesn't bail.

    Hrm. Coffee AND NOS. May have to rethink the morning wake routine to include both from now on. Got the keurig, if only they had a NOS flavor for the soda stream...

    if a fast learner and you listen to what is being taught, around a month to 6 weeks. If not so fast a learner and/or you don't listen, it could go significantly longer.

    Not bashing anyone, mind you, because some folks do naturally learn slower

    Building the muscle memory and reflexes can take time, and creating the proper mindset and hazard recognition can as well.
