Don't take anything for granted, and work hard. Don't get lulled into complacency by the study habits of the people upgrading in their own equipment.

The school house is overwhelmed with COVID sick calls at the moment, so training is a little bit chaotic. They’re doing the best they can with the resources they have. Weird times right now!
