    I did find a flight from Orange County to Seattle, then another flight from Seattle to Missoula....costs more than OC to Spokane then grey dog to Missoula, but it will be faster for me....I'll see tomorrow what shakes out with the HPE then figure out what I'm gonna do...thanks again Znine and S2B

    Well, today is the HPE test and drug screen.. wish me luck! Hopefully by this afternoon I'll know if I'm going to Missoula or not. Kristy said I'd do fine on the HPE, but ya never know....from what she said they are more worried about the BP than the rest of it, and my BP has been in the low 130's/low 80's, so I should have that part aced!

    OK, I passed the HPE!! My BP was a little high due to anxiety, but they let me lie down for a few minutes and rechecked and it was fine. The guy giving the exam thought it was strange, some of the things I had to do..but there were no surprises or problems there.

    I just got off the phone with Kristy in recruiting and she said I'm all set! I'm gonna book my flight this afternoon and be in Missoula a week from today!

    Just like any company, it will be what you can make of it....just keep your head held high and do your best and I'm sure it will be a positive experience! It is just a training company, so you will be able to move on soon enough!
