You might get a better response if you state which company/location you have in mind.

You make it sound like you're trying out for the football team. I hope you're more motivated than that!

Ranger, there are a lot of people reading this board who may not appreciate your colorful, but limited vocabulary. Are you really ready to be a Quiet Professional?

Please try to tone it down except for times when it is absolutely necessary. I might also mention that your spelling and punctuation leave something to be desired for a HS grad who wants to be SF. First impressions are lasting ones, and physical fitness is not our only prereq.

I am sure that PS.com members who are cadre from 20th Group and are evaluating prospective members at tryouts will tell us just how motivated you really were.

Good luck.

Just curious for those who were there how the training went (both trainers/evaluators and those who tried out)?

If I remember right the next tryout is in the spring, is there a date set for it yet?

Brother Medic - check your math - the dosage calculation doesn't seem right...

16 does not equal 11+7+4 ...

He was on the board on 10-18-07.... hmmm, wondering the same thing, Dai Ui, he hasn't been blustering about lately.


Oh, yeah, remind me not to let Dave write any prescriptions for any of my buddies.
