    Maybe you need to smile AND slip her a Ben Franklin?

    the simulator and the guys running it were awesome. we started out with 65, and apparently lost 20 just today. i've not been bored or aggravated yet. this is awesome.

    Most of those probably thought they were smarter than the drug testers. I can assure you that they aren't.

    And they will be waiting a couple of weeks for instructors.

    Apparently, non-smoking instructors able to take women are very scarce these days.

    had a snafu in medical, but i hope they get in gear and clear me today. i fell behind a day playing middle man between them and the va. everybody else here is awesome, especially the guys down in the simulator room.

    Medical issues are quite common. Over the past few weeks when I've been at the Friday afternoon meetings, there were typically 4-6 people that hadn't cleared due to Medical.

    The good part is that they can come back.

    Well, I won't be coming back. Prime is a great company, but their medical department acted like they are the law. Ive passed two long forms in the past month, but these guys want to male a fuss over medication from six months ago that isn't relevant to anything. Its not their whole department, just the head nurse.

    No, it's the doctor. The nurse is just following his orders. I went through it; it's no big deal.

    And yes, Medical is the law.

    No. The doctor was cool as hell. I actually passed his test. She was the one who was like, he was on this medication and hasn't seen the doctor since he came off and caused a fuss. Dot law on the medicine is, no m thirtless than 30 days since your last usage. My doctor even sent them a letter stating that iI was fine and signed a medical release, but she just kept at it. Even the guys running orinetation couldn't understand why i Wasnt cleared yet.
