It feels GREAT to finally be home!!!! :P My next endeavor will be CDL school which I start on June 4th.

My youngest boy will be at great lakes on the 18th of july to start bootcamp..

Thanks for your service, even if it was to haul the Marines around

, seriously, thanks. I have great admiration for anyone who serve their country in the Armed Forces. Nothing against Davis, but don't give up on TMC yet. I would call recruiting and light a fire under their butts. Call and speak to Matt directly, or to the head of recruiting. I've seen a couple of these comments recently, and that is just intolerable.

I still think it is just a test of your determination. If you really want to work hard you will have to keep after recruiting, if you are a slacker you can work somewhere else. It is either an intolerable oversight or a brilliant policy, I am not sure which. :lol:
