    Any trainers in Pittston this weekend. I only need to run a week, and then be brought back to Pittston to upgrade.

    I'm hearing the TNT requirements changed when the PSD requirements also changed. Supposedly 30k is no longer a hard number before one upgrades. My FM does not seem to be aware of this, or chooses not to inform me of such. I remember the news update coming through the app, but messages before Sept, are conveniently gone. Nothing on the website either. I'd like to have something in b/w before I call up the COC.

    Just over and find Paul in training dept there in pittston and tell him what's going on ask him if there's anything he can do for ya. If not maybe call Stan whose the training director at Springfield and ask him if he saved a draft of that message. I don't recall seeing the message myself but I don't pay attention to any msg's regarding training either. But I would image it would have been Stan that wrote it. So he might have be able to print and fax you a copy. You gotta do a little extra leg work in this business sometimes and it doesn't always work out but when it does its well worth it. You're not trying to go over anybodies head just doing what you need to do to help yourself the best you can.

    Well, Stan said it's 30k, period.

    Screw it. Let's do it. 2.5k is nothing.

    Well was worth a shot. I guess prime got more strict on the mileage since they lowered it from 40k to 30k.

    This is starting to try my patience. Have me sitting around in a hotel waiting for a trainer for 2.6k miles, and pretending that no one gets upgraded before 30k on the dot. I could be on the road earning by now. This is costing everyone.

    Contacted by two trainers today. One was in SpringMo, didn't know I am in Pittston. The other should be here tomorrow from MA to pick me up!

    Let's get this show on the ROAD! Before FMJ's student upgrade before I do!
