    Lousy internet connection at the hotel. Here is an update on the 3 weeks of training in a nutshell:

    Week #1 -
    Monday= long day of paperwork/physicals/drug tests
    Tuesday = classroom
    Wednesday = range
    Thursday = range
    Friday = range
    Saturday = range
    Sunday = classroom

    Week #2 -
    Monday = Classroom TEST
    Tuesday = range
    Wednesday = range
    Thursday = range
    Friday = range TEST
    Saturday = range
    Sunday = DAY OFF

    After the 2nd week many people left to go and do their road training some place else... a group of us stayed in TN. Passed the class / road / range with flying colors.

    Here's the rundown - Have a good attitude!! There is alot of hurry up and wait - don't let it get to you. Did I mention - have a good attitude? 11 hour days make some people cranky - don't let it get to you.

    I start orientation on Monday. Hopefully this hotel will have better internet connection and I will be able to update. I will be keeping a handwritten log during training and will update when I can get online.
