    That's not hooked and drop. Which is like a drop and hook, but different.

    So I'm do for my hazmat recertification. Might as well do that now too.

    SO

    Now you have to pre enroll and they give you an appointment time, and a secret code. You can't do this at the place, and there's only 3 in the entire Phoenix area.

    The OM has a separate code.

    ANYWAY

    I'm here for my 1240 fingerprinting ( $86.50 ).

    So there's like six people here. You have to have two official forms of ID just to get by the receptionist.

    SO

    Tracy and Katie have gotten mixed up. She called Tracy, but Katie went back. Huge Manatee.

    SO

    They got it straightened out.

    BUT

    Here's The OMs take on the situation-
    There's two people here that are qualified to move hazardous materials or whatever TWIC, TSA, FAST, but don't know their own names.
    OR
    Have an attention span of 5 seconds.

    Wait. Wait. They are only here for a precheck so they don't have to stand in line at the airport.

    Worst you can expect is to have to chain up. They do good.
    Best bet is to time it to hit Eisenhower at noon. Shouldn't have to worry about chaining up or anything. Unless they're getting hit with a storm at that time.
     
    lovesthedrive and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

    Two forms of ID is fun sometimes here in Arkansas.

    Drivers license... Yup.

    Concealed Handgun License....

    AUGH!!!!

    If you really want to cause a stir, throw down a Enhanced Concealed Carry License. That means you can carry just about anywhere including inside the State Capitol Building.

    You know why they can't do a HazMat / TWIC / precheck / Fast card all in one shot?

    Hazmat clearance $86.50
    TWIC clearance $86.50
    precheck $86.50
    FAST card $86.50
