Start Stevens Training Next Week!

We made it! Currently on the shuttle to keenseburg. 9 guys loaded and not sure how many are already there. Mr. Mizzou is here and is a nice guy. That bus ride though..... thankfully it was largerly uneventful and arrived only 50 mins late.

 

I'm in the house next to the kitchen korner back part that has 6 bunks one kitchen and a bathroom / shower. I have a bottom bunk and today I actually drove the class to their physicals. Everyone in our group passed but my blood pressure has to be rechecked Tuesday as my bottom number is hovering around 100 (I'm 31 not that over weight) it runs in my family though and I probably need a medication change. The goal is to get it fixed before I get to Dallas. I think everyone in my group will do well here except for maybe 2 or 3 people for different reasons. I personally love this town Keenesburg cause it is the complete opposite of everywhere i have ever lived. Some people obviously hate it, the train however is just down right annoying and actually rolled through 4 times between midnight and 1am last night. Snow will be rolling through tonight and tomorrow about 4 inches total. I got to get back to my pre tests

 

Today we signed our contracts and it looks like I'm at a funeral right now. 3 people were vocal about leaving when everything was laid out. I'm still excited and can't wait to actually be working. I'm curious how the chatter is going to go tonight. My class size is around 30ish but that includes people from CRST. I'll get the actual count after permits on Thursday. Tomorrow is the first yard day which while cold as balls should still be fun. The weather people dropped the ball on the recent snow storm there is nothing here and now they are calling for 4-8 on Friday / Saturday.
