    CONGRATS WEDGE!!!!!:wav::occasion5:


    I hope that says it all!! It has been a 'long awaited process' indeed!!!

    I am glad you are pleased with USX. It is nice you get the 4th of July off and can rest up and then get ready to start rolling!!!
     
    Wedge Thanks this.

    Glad to hear you will be hitting the road soon. Hopefully everything goes smoothly!

    Did your hearing problems come up at all with USX? Hopefully your trainer there will be much more understanding and flexible than the one at Central.

    Keep us updated!

    Thank you Sammycat! :biggrin_25514:

    It's been too long, that's for sure. When I talk to the trainer this weekend I'll know when we head out.

    The weekend off is welcomed. USX orientation days are pretty long.

    I'm smelling coffee..............:coffee2:

    Thanks Katey.

    When they gave me the DOT, I actually passed the whisper test. These new hearing aids kick butt. No problems hearing wise throughout the orientation. The phone use concerns me a little so I'll be upgrading my phone hardware tomorrow which should take care of that.

    I'll certainly post when I can. I'll have the computer with me.
