They put us up to a 6 month eval process to include 2 months of self study. Why did they do that? Because guys were showing up not prepared on the books. Play the damn game, cross the I's and dot the the T's. That's the way it goes over here! If you don't follow that, then you'll never upgrade here. Play the game my friend........
