Thanks buddy!

Most are getting IOE pretty quickly but it seems like some people have had to wait a few weeks for IOE. For me that's a great deal, I'll go home and work out at the cabin and make some extra money on the side while spending one less month on reserve. This is all word of mouth-they're still playing catch up with all the hiring that has been going on.

Sweet. Are you all done with the ride? Sim still in one piece?

Well, I live in Oakland, California, so any hotel where you can't actually hear gunfire every night is a positive

Yeah I got a similar PM as you guys. I used to send those kind of PMs to people when I was....14!

Nah they've upgraded! We now get pretzels and cheap gummy bears out of jars that have never been washed

The free pepsi is nice though...


Actually, I'm jealous of the Ejet guys...word on the street is they get half the time in class, time to do hw in class, free breakfast, free dinner, and free happy hour between 3-5 or something like that.

First thing I'm doing on arrival Sunday night is renting a car and driving to the Whole Foods downtown. I'm too damn old to live on all this junk food for 6 weeks. Now, you kids get off my lawn!

Oh c'mon...just waltz on over to their hotel and act casual when you snarf down the free dinner.

I've always thought that hotel breakfasts are the most obvious target for people who just want free food. I spend maybe 40--50 nights a year in hotels, and never once has anyone asked me for my room card at the breakfast buffet. I'm surprised you don't see people just wandering in off the street and snarfing down the waffles at La Quinta...

Dude, save yourself the money and spend 5 dollars on a round trip ticket on the train and go to Harmon's which is two blocks East of the City Center station. I seriously don't understand why newhires aren't doing this...
