    Well week one went by and no trainer. We will see what week two will bring. I called my finishing cordinator on Friday to tell her that I would go with a smoker if need be to get the ball rolling. We will see what happens. Trying to keep a positive attitude.

    So then I can pretty much plan to only pack for 3 days for the orientation? I leave on Sunday? Since I'm a female requesting a non smoking trainer, I will be sent home to wait too I am assuming.

    You never know. I would bring one weeks clothing. You can wash laundry at the terminal before you leave. Everyone overpacks.

    There were a couple of guys in my oreintation that got trainers that day, so I think its hard to tell. If you don't pack for it you'll get one, Murphy's law. LOL

    Wow, those are people who failed medical tests I guess. That is a lot compared to my orientation. We only lost two the whole week. One for medical and one they could not verify employment (tried for 5 days)

    That can be tough. My wife decided to roll the dice and accept a guy. He was awesome. Carl will be a friend for life and he really took care of her.

    Are you going solo or are you going to team with your husband?
