Where are people staying for the orientation? Called hotels around the area needing a place that had a shuttle to that training center. Lowest rate I could get was $135..for one night! Ouch! Makes me afraid of how much the housing costs for training are going to set me back. Are people just taking a cab to the airport after the orientation day?

I would guess there's a high probability that there will be locals in your class. Hopefully they are cool and offer a ride.

An option if you have a car would be to get on craigslist and rent a room from someone. Even if its a long drive it will go a long way when you need to get food or have to be at the training center in the middle of the night. Would most likely be a little nicer then splitting a room at a hotel.

Here's a question for someone at compass that knows the information.

Have all eligible flows for this year left or are there still some waiting for a class date?

Also, is there at least 150 guys at compass that will be eligible for the 2015 flow, or is it a less number on compass property now that met the requirements when the agreement was signed?

Thanks!

I think there are 40 still yet to leave this year. And everyone should be finished next year (160?)

Ok, thanks.

Also, after the guaranteed flow then the rest will be given something similar to an ssp from what I was told. Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks again!

The details of whatever comes after the flow aren't really nailed down yet but I don't expect it to be as good as the SSP

The SSP numbers will just about double next year, due to the EtD expansion.
