Pinnacle 4/30 class...
 

I heard there are supposed to be like 40 people in that class.

I heard that, too. I had the option of starting in two or four weeks, but didn't want all those guys ahead of me for the rest of my time there. As it is, I bet I wind up in the top two or three in my class, seniority-wise.

You must be older than most new hires then I'm guessing? I start May 15th...just turned 21, two others in my class I know to be 22, another is 24; so if the trend is young, then just be older than that.

Correction...May 14th

I'm 40, which ought to put me close to the top of the class. See you on the 14th! Come and find me when you get in (I'll be at the Homestead Suites) and I'll give you the lowdown on the first two weeks.

In my class last sept I was the youngest at 21, there were some 24 yr olds, a guy was 50, a gal was 45ish, and the average was 28yrs old. Seniority moves fast around here so don't sweat it! Don't even get me started on the Homestead... its NOT in the best part of the neighborhood..

If you can suggest a better place to stay, I'm all ears. I'd stay at the Peabody, but I don't want to rent a car if I can avoid it, and I'd rather stay where some of the other guys are staying to facilitate after-hours studying.

hahaha, when i went through training we were staying at the holiday inn select,, now that is rough, at least the homestead is back in the corner a little more. whats nice is its only a 5 min walk at the most to the cec.

Ya, have fun at the Stead, it is pure paradise. Now you guys are getting $300/week and a $500 bonus if you stay longer than 6 months. Isn't much, but it is more than I got when I went through.
