    Lobster, It seems you are aware of the requirments. I'm sure you know you will have to go thru the academy and training.

    Almost all of the people that get sent home are not suprised. Call a recuter and get the ball rolling!

    most of the people that get sent home are gone for good reason. Driving isn't for everyone, but if u have common Denver and can fallow instruction u should be good. I watched people turn the wheel all the way left when told right, keep going when told to stop, and just be completely clueless on something they have been told 50 times. Those are the people that go home. While u are in school just listen to the instructors, if the say to dance in a pink Tue Tue do it, there is a reason for it, even if its for a laugh. Trust me they may ask, I got pictures of spat in one to prove it... Lol

    Ok, looks like he may be stopped for the day in Stockton. (Can you tell I'm following him on Latitude as well?).
