    Yup.

    But 'the Man' wants us all to run the same.

    You're taking the physical report because you're on meds? I'm just going to wait and do the physical in San Antonio.

    Thanks for that info Gold_Miner. I found a four part video on youtube about a guy who went through the Swift academy in Tenn. Go to Youtube and type in my swift academy adventure.

    There are 4 parts but he recorded a lot. You get to see a small picture of how things are.

    Yeah, I am going to the doc on Nov. 25, my blood pressure has been like 144/91 on average, so maybe he can get me on pills to lower it before I go to class on the 30th. I am also trying to loose weight. I went from 270 down to 240 in the last two months, so trying to get healthier. Walk 5 mile a day now. Figure out that 32 times around a truck is a mile. I just want to pass the physical, do good in school, learn from my mentor and be a good truck driver.

    Oh, you don't want to be a truck driver. You want to be a professional driver.

    Make sure your birth certificate and DD214 are certified versions; the ones with the raised imprint not just photocopies. Definitely take your DD214. You may be in for a surprise!

    I picked my birth certificate up in Frankford Kentucky many moons ago and am not sure if it has the raised imprint on it but I also have a U.S. Passport and THAT should do the trick I would think.

    What is the DD214 you speak about??

    Hope you get the blood pressure under control. The meds should help but sometimes it can take a while for the doc to get it right.

    DD214 is your discharge papers from Military.
