It's possible, they just put you through initial in the 50 and then you go right into differences training for the 70. There were a few in my initial class that did it.
I agree, we can't be doing all of this hiring from attrition alone. Though, I still wouldn't call this growth, it is at least good news. Pretty sad though that the company can't even be straight forward with us with good news. Spill the beans already!
