Congrats Rickt86!! Maybe I'll see ya on the line some day. I was hired Nov. 17th, class starts Jan. 17th. I'd highly recommend calling your previous employers to expedite the process. I'd probably have an earlier class date if my last employer hadn't dragged it's feet getting the paperwork faxed back. If everything goes smoothly you can potentially go to the review board in less than 2 weeks.
