I hear we do a ride along in a package car delivering packages. That will be pretty cool.
Brown... here is what I know as of the moment, maybe someone will chime in that has been through in the past month or so.
No info on training other than it is 8-10 weeks. Weekends are "free" until SIM (which can be scheduled day or night). The hotel was mentioned above, ours (23rd class) was moved to the Hampton Inn by the airport.
1st week is HR stuff and your "ride along", 2ed is BI..., then I assume everyone splits into AC training.
They made a point of telling me I can JS when I get my company ID, which I can only assume is early in the process.
Man, I hope you hear soon, Time is ticking........ Good Luck!
You'll get the ID in the first few days. We started on a Thursday and most had them by Tues or Wed. So you should be able to get home that first weekend since you're starting on a Monday BUT you have to turn in your passport sometime early in training to get the proper visas. You can wait to hand it in but it needs to be back in your possession by the time you start IOE, so beware. It's really laid back. The ride along was ok but glad I don't have to do it everyday. Training timeline is not set in stone we '757' guys from the first March class were sent home after indoc...still here and don't spin up till the 11th. We could have stayed in SDF the entire time with hotel provided and we have been getting paid. So I guess we were lucky to get a first year vacation. Of course, on year one pay I couldn't afford to go anywhere but my guard unit to try and make some $. The Hampton is a 7-8 min drive to the training center. Welcome to Brown!
