4 boxers, EXofficio travel quick dry that I wash in room and dry quickly
4 v neck T shirts EXofficio quick dry again
running type shorts
2 t shirts
winter 1 long sleev shirt, 1 t-shirt
I used convertible pants that legs zip off into shorts, started tour in Milwaukee in January 2 days later was in Nassau for 3 days, don’t box yourself in.
1 pair running shoes
wear company jacket with civies if needed.
Shaving kit
phone/iPad charger
Im with another operator now and do 7/7 tours but still pack the same. Don’t take too much, you will not have as much time as you think you will.

There’s always the off-chance that your airplane has a mechanical issue, but, again, as busy as we are you’ll probably get airlined to a different tail that’s working…
Previous poster laid out a pretty good template for what to pack. You’ll fine-tune that list pretty quickly, to make it work for you.

Start Date 2/14 TMC UNIFORM?
TPJCirrus,
I have a start date as well 2/14 on the BE400. See you at INDOC. What is the uniform on the TMC side? I look at the pictures posted of the pilots and it seems like each organization has a different uniform?

2/14 Class Date
TPJ,
Congrats I have a 2/14 start date as well for the BE400. What is the uniform at TMC? As I look at the various pictures it seems each business unit is wearing a different uniform? Just curious I flew at TSA before it closed its doors and have a bunch of the standard blue uniforms.

Still awaiting paperwork from HR though so I guess it’s not “official” yet. Received Verbal offer Friday was told to expect paperwork this week. Assuming probably nothing today due to MLK day. How long did it take for you or are you in the same boat?
