    Good luck! I'd be interested in hearing your experiences over there. I looked into them awhile back. Have to wait 3 more years until I can ETS the Army.

    Well day one went smooth. we went over some safety and watched a couple of videos. Basically an orientation for the school which went from 7am to 11am went over coupling and uncoupling then had lunch. then we split into 2 groups one group did shifting on the track and my group did backings on the backing pad. We did this from noon till 3:30 then we went back to the classroom till 5:30 going over applications For an hour and the last hour we went over making turns on various roads

    Did straight line backing today. I got in a about in about 8 backs and only hit the cones once but it got easier each time. Tomorrow will be alley dock, parallel and offset backing

    They still have that POS Ford out there? And Skip is a great guy, wealth of knowledge, but he can come off as a know it all. You'll see as time goes by. He's an acquired taste. Sam's the older guy in suspenders and cowboy boots. You'll see him before the week is out.

    Have fun, I know it must be a ##### in the heat on the backing pad...Screw that.
