cruz that would be great! janlee neither me or my finacee's mom received an form letter so would that be a problem at PIR?
Wow===only 14 days left for this group!!! So close!.
Remember, on Monday or Tuesday...you can start printing out your parking passes. The website and instructions will be on your form letter. It wouldnt hurt to print out an extra one (or two) in case you forget it back at the room, or someone who may be traveling with you, but in a separate vehicle needs one. The best thing to do is stick it on your dashboard where it can easily be seen thru the windshield when pulling up to the gate. It will also tell you that you may need auto registration, but if youre renting a car, your rental agreement will be sufficient.
Chelsea---the RDC's have a lot of 'tricks' up there sleeves as to how to whip the divisions into shape and start functioning as a team. That is a common strategy (threatening to be held back), this info should not be passed onto the recruits, as it can defeat the purpose of what they are tying to accomplish in there. Its rare for a whole division to get set back. If a particular recuit fails the required tests...then there is a chance for that recruit to be set back. That DOES happen.
You should continue to make your travel plans as scheduled, and ..as claysgirl explained..SW Airlines allows you to switch your dates at no cost, and just about every hotel in GL's allows cancellations right up until the very day of....:))
