    So update, got to the hotel and was handed an orientation packet, cool. The only thing that worried me is no where on the site or info I was sent said no dreadlocks or braids so, to see that on the 2nd page in (especially since I have dreadlocks) was definitely unsettling. Maybe, my journey is over before it starts with TMC?

    Will they not let me continue (or start) through training if I don’t?

    I have no clue. I’m just messing with you and quoting a song from the 80’s. I’m sure they would let you go get a haircut if it’s that big of a deal.

    I just find it crazy it wouldn’t be on the paperwork/info they send you before hand

    No dreadlocks or braids? That's a dumb rule.

    I have a similar thought but I understand any company can instate any rule, I just don’t want to find out I took a 10-12hr trip for nothing, you know?

    I understand. You really want this job. That's commendable. So you're prepared to cut your hair if need be?
