Cappi10 Posted January 16, 2018 Share #679 Posted January 16, 2018 Anyone know why they only give you 3 weeks to study for the S&D as a Block operator as opposed to 5 weeks as an AC? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's insane. Hopefully it's because you're tested on less material, but i'm not so sure if that's true. I know the LE's used to get 3 weeks to study the S&D. Back to studying... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bp98 Posted January 18, 2018 Share #689 Posted January 18, 2018 For those starting on the 24th, make sure you have the hand, horn, and buzzer signals IN ADDITION TO your fixed signals and definitions verbatim BEFORE your first day of orientation!

Jojo1387 Posted January 18, 2018 Share #690 Posted January 18, 2018 I'm starting class on the 24th.

GUNLOB90089 Posted January 26, 2018 Share #698 Posted January 26, 2018 Already had one classmate leave the qualifying process (didn't show up to class today) One less person on the seniority list! Strange considering his test scores on the quizzes so far were in the 85-90 range (sat next to me in class)...but I'll take it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
