Would also add that it might be a good idea to bring a receipt or the actual hat when ordering the rest of the uniform. Vendors insisted that I had to order a hat from them even though I already had one.

headset, I've used the plantronics in the ear (molded earpiece) for 26yrs... so light don't even notice I'm wearing a headset. (honestly can't imagine using a community headset/mic... no matter how much you clean it!)
bag, don't get the monster, heavy metal frame bag like I did... feels like it weighs 20lbs empty! (unless you want to buy mine! )
don't buy long sleeve shirts or the overcoat. (I still have 6 brand new long sleeves and brand new overcoat hanging in the closet... thanks new-hire co-ordinator!)_

Can anyone share the back story of the long sleeve shirts? It seems like this is a no-no based on some history and culture (e.g. "he's a long-sleeve guy").

Some people have attached the stereotype of "no-fly list" guys to those who wear long-sleeve shirts in the summer. In all reality, some guys may just wear long sleeve shirts, all year round, to ensure an added protection against the sun and harmful UV rays at altitude. (Or they're being polite by covering up a picture of a naked girl tattoo they received while in the Army or Marines. Doesn't apply to Navy types.)

Crickets...
The sound...of silence. Anybody get an April 28 class date yet? Or anything in May? If so, and you're shy by nature, PM me. I'm trying to time an announcement to my boss...
