You need something smart for the first day and the last class photos. Apart from that smart jeans polo shirts are fine. Shoes or smart sneakers (no bright multi colors) are fine too.

Lots of free beer and food the first week Enjoy it before the fire hose starts.

clothing for TK is smart casual… which equates to "normal" jeans and a polo style shirt with shoes as a minimum… dressing up is dockers and a long sleeve shirt (w/wout tie) and a sport coat… but don't see many wearing that combo. New hires definitely dress up at TK more than line pilots… i've seen t-shirts, jeans and running shoes.

So the info packet mentioned bringing a laptop or tablet for CBTs. Anyone know of OS requirements or is it Flash-based?

CBTs work on laptops, not so much on iPads. There are computers available at TK as well so not required.

Is there a place to look to see what the aircraft drop is or is it only by email?

If you have your own iPad, you can download Puffin browser to do the CBTs.

I have no idea. I wish I did. I've seen previous classes find out and post it here. It seemed around the two week mark which we are at.

Go with tricare. I'm currently on long term mil leave, and when I come back I'm going with tricare. I'll be living near a large base so there are plenty of providers that accept tricare, so take that into consideration.
