A Primer On Prime (get It?)
Topic 3728 | Page 1
Holy Smokes! Jopa! Are you actually out on the road? I was starting to think that it would never happen!!
Congratultions! Hope it goes well for you. Do you think your back pain is from your recent fall at church, or something new?

Congrats on getting out there Jopa. It was good getting to meet you. Along with Daniel B. Ken and the other TT members. Stay safe out there. There is a lot of learning to do yet.
Is there anyone at Prime this week, I'm here now. You probley all out on the road by now.
Congratulations Jopa!
I know you've burned through that big fat stack of money you took with you, hopefully your trainer will feed you once a day just to keep you from starving until you can start getting a paycheck. Hang in there, sometimes it's gonna seem like a crazy pipe dream, but you'll get there.

I am in my PSD but here because my instructor is a local only driver. So I am living at the Campus Inn during the next 3 weeks.
Glad to see Jopa and others I met here get going as well. Really enjoyed getting to meet several TT members and other students.

Not much. I have some food in my room and I prefer the Millennium for more choices. But you nay see me in there getting some iced tea. Send me a PM and I'll give you my phone #.

Hey everyone, I finally got out on the road with an instructor (PSD phase - Prime Student Driver) and I want to explain a lot of stuff that happened at the Prime orientation for future reference and or the edification of all the potential students here about - thing is I finally got access to this website and my back is hurting so much (and my trainer is watching one of those ridiculous "court" shows where everyone yells at each other and I want to shoot the f@*^%#&! TV) so I will do this later. I'll try to keep in brief, to the point and interesting. No promises, though . . . stay tuned . . .
