Just received my approved for USA's school today, I will find out when I am to report to school tomorrow. Figured I would give everyone fare warning so they my clear out of any sidewalks or large malls.

Well, you can always get one of those bumper stickers that state;

"IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY I DRIVE, STAY OFF THE SIDEWALK!"

Thanks for the warning and Good Luck. You will do fine!

Thanks I'll have to try that, just hope the company wont get to mad over me putting a sticker on there truck. 8)

It might be a good idea to ask. One particular company I worked for (I won't say which one) got a case of the pissy pants because I put a small sticker depicting a CMB (Combat Medic Badge) on the venting window of the driver's side door. Now, had I secured one of those plaques (of the sort intended to fit into a license tag holder) to the grille of the truck with some zip ties, they wouldn't have cared. I didn't bother to waste my time trying to make sense of that.

Well I’ll be heading to school on the 18th for school for 3 weeks. I’ve been studying my but off and taking as many practice tests as I can get my hands on.

JeffTheTerrible I’ll have to try that license plate trick, but it will have to wait until after I get fairly comfortable with my ability to handle the truck. While not the biggest thing I’ve drove, definitely a lot less room for error and more for chaos.

How and why USA?
Just askn'
.....oh and good luck.

[Wheels_USN]

The how and the why for choosing USA is fairly simple, they were the only ones that gave me the time of day. Every other company I talked to ether said "They were going with another applicant.", didn't return my phone calls or my favorite refused me because I didn't have the type of discharge from the military that they liked. I have a general under honorable conditions but they would only except an honorable discharge. Combine all that with being unemployed for 4 months and well one has to take what they can when they can.

[JeffTheTerrible]

If it's not too personal, might I ask why you got a general, and what RE code did you get?

[Wheels_USN]

All I am comfortable with putting on the net is, I had family issues that required me to leave the service before my contract was up, and the best I could do was a general.

[freebird]

So have you straightened out your "famil issues?"
How will being gone over the road for weeks at a time play out?
How's your driving record?
Any criminal history?
Just seems like there may be some things missing if USA is all that would consider you.
Again....good luck!

[Wheels_USN]

Yes I have straightened out my family issues, and being out on the road for weeks at a time will play out fine. My driving record is clean and so is my criminal history. USA is the first company that will take me and after being unemployed for 4 months I can not wait for a better option.

Thank you to every one who has wished me well.
