My Prime INC Experience. (A Running Log)

I will be going to prime in November for training.How long should i pack for and what will the orentation be like?

 

Orientation feels a lot like boot camp. A lot of hurry up and wait in a low rest, high stress environment.

As far as I can tell, they do it that way to weed out the folks with poor attitudes and a lack if punctuality.

What you pack for depends on how long you'll be side seating as a trainee, but your recruiter will give you a list if the basics. The only real advice I can give is this: pack light, but don't skimp on the socks and the skivvies.

 

Hazmat is not required. Dispatch lied to you.

 

cool thanks a lot! was also thinking of weather jacket..maybe heavy winter or a combo one to get along with boots gloves etc etc..just in case.

 

It's getting to be that time of year, so that's a pretty decent idea.

 

Another good week so far this week, making up for a poor showing last week due to repairs. Already at 2315 miles.

 

The VA usually doesn't dawdle when dealing with education benefits. It's C&P they really have issues with. My wife uses MGIB and it is taken care of pretty quick.

 

Its a backlog if you are applying for the first time. If you already have your Certificate of Eligibility then its a breeze!

 

Yea, forgot about COE. Had to get one for my upcoming home loan, and that took a couple months.

 

It's already snowing in the high mountains a bit. If you have to get out on Vail Pass or up at the Eisenhower tunnel approaches, you'll want that jacket. OTOH, a shift later when you're in Kansas, it'll probably be 100 out! LOL!!
