Hey does anyone know how far in advance you get your training schedule? I am trying to plan a trip with friends who would like to book tickets now while prices are cheap(they are actually about the same cost as a buddy pass right now, man those things are worthless), but don't know when I will start training. They estimated sometime in March. We would like to book the first week in March.

Every once in a while I fly. Nothing further.

Call them. They will give you a pretty good estimate.

I guess it depends on one's perspective.

Hey if everybody donates $200 to the Tsquare retirement fund, I'll go topmorrow. I think I could punt for $2.4 million... tax free of course.

My comment was aimed at stirring the pot a little with the comment about senior guys not supporting the junior guys by ignoring scope. Those seem to crop up about twice a week, and they just get a little old.

You should receive your letter 1 month prior to class.
