Just Arrived At My Orientation Motel And....
Topic 16143 | Page 1
Stay away from the bar though! You don't have to defend your intentions or anything but I'm just saying these companies will send you home in a heartbeat for that. Happens all the time.
But good luck and let us know how things go!
Remember - it's ONE LONG INTERVIEW now.
Everything you say & do, and how you behave is being observed.
Best of luck, keep us posted...

Thanks guys, and that's exactly the way I'm treating it. It's one big interview. I even intend to be overdressed on day 1.
WHAT? You mean no shorts and flipflops?
I'm going to wear a tux like on Stepbrothers.

One guy did bring only flip flops and had to have family send him sneakers. No lie.
Congrats; ) still waiting for that uniform pic hahahaha

Rainy, I can't imagine showing up to any type of orientation with flip flops. Some stuff just boggles me. And my uniform picture is from 25 years ago and looks like my kid. What kind of perv are you? Kidding! Seriously, kidding. Don't answer that question!

A very dedicated relentless one.

It brings back all of these fond memories of my time in the Navy.
The motel is independent in name only. There are 5 bobtail Tyson trucks in the parking lot! Guys are walking across the busy road over to Walmart. It was 11:30AM and there were 2 guys disappointed that the bar wasn't open yet. The clerk talked to me like I was just another dude rather than a guest. Like I said, this is almost identical to my experience when I stayed in military contracted motels.
I think I have found a home!
