He just rejoined indoc with the next class, picking up where he left off.

when I went through they definitely made it clear that they wanted your undivided attention for 90 days after DOH. They absolutely were willing to work with you for something like the birth of a child or on the worse side a death in the family. But for a vacation almost 100% chance they will just tell you to push your start date or plan on not having that time off.


you should get your training schedule during indoc, but you don’t get to bid on it and once you get it it would take some pretty big influence to get it changed
