Congrats to you, I am planning on attending the orientation, along with my family.

[serenade84]

Wow! Good luck. 6 month process too. Very speedy.

[23112]

Congratulations, y'all! I went a month later than you'll be going--enjoy the two extremes of hot and cold during your Academy stay. :smile:

Train hard in the meanwhile, but don't hurt yourselves doing it!

[Dark Knight]

CONGRATS to you all!!!:biggrin:

Hmmm maybe my invite got lost.:think: Guess I better leave cookies and milk out for the post man. Do they send them standard mail, or certified?

[cumminsdzl]

standard is how i got mine.

[CHPwannaBE]

Congratulations, seems like just yesterday when you stated you passed the QAP.

[iSeeHP]

Congratulations & Goodluck :biggrin:

I see myself in your shoes in 5-6 years!

Take Care

[Eagl5]

now its time to take my fitness to the next level.
should already be there. good luck.

[Alpha_Recon]

I just got my invite letter today too. WHOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAA!!! I am so happy. I AM SO PUMPED!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. :smile::smile::smile: CTC-III-08, who's in the Sacramento area? Want to get together and run? Thank you all for supporting all of us eager cadets or soon to be cadets of the best law enforcement agency. :neutral::neutral::neutral:

[Eagl5]

Congrats to all who made it. Remember this is only the beginning of a long career. The Academy is ONLY 6 MONTHS of that career. Do not quit because you had your feeling hurt by the staff office. Do not quit for minor booboos, you should not leave there unless bones are sticking through your skin and even then have to be dragged out. Keep your heads up, work together and enjoy this time. Good luck.

[Rivet]

Congrats guys!!! Im hopeing for mine to come in aswell. Its been a month since my psych and still no word. I feel the shaft comeing.:cry:

[Alpha_Recon]

Thank you sir. Thank you for your encouragement. I will not quit, I will not tapped out. I will, hopefully, take all of your advices and work hard at this "entry" level. THANK YOU!! :smile::smile::smile:

[ArthurKMa]

Congratulations!!!

[flores76]

I have been waiting for it for it for a long time, I'm in Southern Cal, and i have not received my invitation. Since you received it today in Northern Cal, I'll probably be receiving it tomorrow or the next day. That's if I get invited!:redface:

Congratulations, hope to see you on Black Monday!

[quaylie]

Congrats to all invitees. Really hope to be in your shoes some day. Do us all proud.:biggrin:

Congrats all! Eagl5 couldn't have said it better. Hang in there and don't give up!

[cumminsdzl]

Thank you for the advice!! I will not quit and i will give it my all.

[Dipmo]

hope to see you on Black Monday!

Yeeeeeaaaah, we don't call it that.

We have evolved as an agency and have left draconian terms such as Black Monday behind. For future reference the first day at the academy is known as Sunshine and Light Monday. So I'm going to need you to go ahead and call it by the new name from now on, mmmk. That would be great.

Good luck to you all.

[BunnyHunter]

This posting was a complete eye opener for me. I can't even explain the emotions running through my body right now. Seeing that you future "Cadets" are recieving invites makes me realize how soon graduation is. It's hard to believe that we started this journey 5 months ago (not including the year of the application process). Believe it or not time really does fly.

Stay strong and keep motivated no matter what. All of you can do this if you set your mind to it. Now get out there and start training. You will never be prepared enough but you may as well try. "Sunshine and Light Monday" will be something you will end up laughing about at the end. Remember: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and I sure haven't heard of any Cadet deaths (lately, jk!).

Have an outstanding stay at Camp Snoopy.

curious though, I noticed u forgot to put down that you passed the CVSA portion of the app process...or am I mistaken, did u get it waived???!
Also, when did u apply and were all of your references contacted by via phone and/or mail? One more; did you receive the letter prior to the final interview?< cuz I think you forgot to put that down as well. Thanks.

Again congrats, now its time for the challenging stuff! You can do it!:smile:

Whoa now, I think is signature is long enough already. The CVSA and final interview would fall under the Background Investigation.

I just received my invite for CTC-III-08 today and I am looking forward to begin the rough road ahead. Congratulations to everyone else!

[LA.CHP.HOPEFUL]

I to got my invitation letter today! SO excited to finally know I made it! Congratulations to everyone else and I look forward to seeing everyone in July!

[Gittinready]

Oh, almost forgot...CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL. Don't give up, we need you on the road. Start running and training now, there is no feeling like going in prepared.

[Dark Knight]

I think PH3N@M, Eagl5, or snowdog may have hidden my invite, still nothing in the mail...:think: "Sigh"... Guess I will still set out cookies and milk for the post man.:redface:

[Allen8511]

I'm in!
See you all in July. Congrats to the rest of you going to CTC III-08.

[Rivet]

Im in!!!! Cant wait to see you all there in July. What a relief to see a big packet in the mail today.

[HwyChaser]

I just got my invite letter today too. WHOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAA!!! I am so happy. I AM SO PUMPED!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. :smile::smile::smile: CTC-III-08, who's in the Sacramento area? Want to get together and run? Thank you all for supporting all of us eager cadets or soon to be cadets of the best law enforcement agency. :neutral::neutral::neutral:

Alpha Recon, that is exactly how I felt the day I received my packet over seven years ago. Reading you post gave me flashbacks…..

(My flashback) ---At the time, I was a supervisor for a construction company. I was supervising the largest job I had ever done. I was in charge of over 150 construction employees almost 300 miles away from home. My wife called me, told me I had received the packet and read every word to me over the phone. My report date was only five weeks away! I was so fired up I could hardly sleep. When I did sleep, I dreamt about the academy (even though I had never seen it). When I didn’t sleep I was looking through my packet material over and over again. For the next four weeks I delegated supervision duties to a couple of my foremen. How could I supervise? It was time to get ready for the academy! I was staying in a hotel room most of the time because I was so far away from home. I would go jogging twice a day (big feat for me) and tried my best to eat healthy. I bought a few inspirational books and read those during the day. The books helped mentally prepare me for the academy.

I told my boss (the owner) I was going to quit the day I received the letter. I gave him a four week notice. On my last day, he made the 300 mile drive to the job site and took me out to lunch. He asked me what it would take to keep me. I told him “I appreciate everything you have done for me over the years, but there is nothing you could offer that would make me stay.” He congratulated me and told me I would have a job if things didn’t pan out. I quit one week before the academy.

Thankfully my wife was gathering the things I needed while I was away. I spent the week before the academy going over everything a hundred times. I was excited as hell!! I drove to Sacramento the day before “Black Monday”. I got a room at the Harbor Inn not far from the academy. When I looked out the hotel window, I could see what I thought might be cadets taking bags out of their cars and up to their rooms. I figured I would walk out and sit by the pool. I was immediately approached by one of the cadets. As we talked, several other cadets gathered around. We all shared stories of what we had heard about the academy (we didn’t have chpforums.com back then). We were clueless. I still talk to some of those guys to this day. One of the cadets (later officer), Robert Dickey, became one of my best friends. We ended up becoming graveyard partners in Central Los Angeles together and had a blast fumbling through the first 15 months together. He got his transfer out of Central LA before I did. I was so jealous. I talked to him on almost a weekly basis for the next couple of years. Even though he lived 400 miles away, he made a point to call and meet for dinner if he was driving through the area. For those of you that don’t know, he was the 211th officer killed in the line of duty…….he is and always will be missed.

Showing up at the academy that first day was stressful, but it was a dream come true. I grew up in a town of only 2000 people. My high school graduating class only had 42 students. To me, the academy was absolutely amazing!

Show up to the academy ready for battle. Show up mentally and physically prepared. Within the first couple of weeks, people will quit. The novelty of the academy will wear off the first week. You will miss the big things…..like your family. You will also miss the little things like going to a movie and grabbing a bite to eat. Its only six months long and truly is and adventure. Don’t quit!

While you are laying in you bunk bed at night missing your family and dreading the four mile run, marching, tests, classes or boxing the next morning; remember how excited and happy you feel now…..DON’T QUIT!! At the end of your 30 year career, after saving an unknown amount of lives, you will look back at your academy days and remember them fondly with pride. However, If you quit, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Good luck CTC III-08!!

[Dark Knight]

WOW HwyChaser!!


I would like to think you very much for that very insightful, motivating, and inspiring post! Also, would like to thank you for sharing your experiences of before, during and after your stay at the Academy. Reading everything you had to say only gives me that much more heart, and desire to push past any, and every obstacle that may come my way during the course of what some would call (including myself) the toughest challenge in my life thus far. Thank you, and thank you to all.

Very inspiring post, I can imagine I will be feeling the same If I am ever lucky enough to get into the academy.

[cumminsdzl]

HwyChaser that is some good stuff, thanks for taking the time to share some details. It is greatly appreciated, thank you sir!

[Alpha_Recon]

HwyChaser, thanks for the comment. I also did the same thing, reading the material over and over.....and over, lol. I've been waiting so long for this opportunity. Thanks letting us know that we are not the only ones OVERLY EXCITED about this opportunity. Now is our time to shine. It's all up to us mentally and physically to finish the academy and get that seven-point badge pinned on us. GOOD LUCK TO ALL THOSE EAGERLY WAITING, GOOD LUCK TO MY FELLOW CTC-III-08 CADETS. :smile:

[LA.CHP.HOPEFUL]

Very good stuff HwyChaser! Thanks for sharing your story and thanks for the increased motivation!

:lol: Well I remember snowdog once told me that I may take cookies with me to my initial BI interview to help speed along the process, but he also emphasized to make sure I bring enough for all the other BI's. Well I figured this would also hold true to the mail man.:razz:

[quaylie]

I'll have to remember to use cookies and milk along the way through the process this time.:biggrin:

[NavytoCHP]

I just wanted to say Good Luck to you all entering CTC-III-08. As many on this post have said, never lose sight of the goal in front of you. Remember, anything worth something like becoming a CHP Officer will never be easy, but will make it that much more sweeter when you graduate.

Again, Good luck to all of you!!!

All the best and go get 'em...

[LDA]

Well i just had my post Lasik eye exam, which was the last thing i needed to finish in the hiring processes. Hopefully i'll get my academy invitation within the next few weeks once my eye exam results are received.
Any idea on if there is a certain date when the invitation stop getting sent out, or is it just until when ever enough invitations have been sent out to fill the class?

[snowdog]

The invitations will stop going out once they have achieved their desired target. As I understand, the class is filling up pretty quick due to the hard work of recruiters, background investigators, a good working relationship with the medical facilities and State psychologists but most of the credit has to go to the folks at CHU.

[LDA]

As I understand, the class is filling up pretty quick...

Thats not what i want to hear! Hopefully i can still get a spot.

[Spiraled]

I just got a phone call from the recruiter in Redding and I'm getting my invite in the next few days. Oh and LDA when did you get your test done? I went in for my Lasik exam may 1st and they cleared me just a couple of days ago.

[Allen8511]

I have a feeling this is going to be a very large class.

[mmachp]

I wish you guys all the best of luck. I just finished my Psych today and have successfully completed the entire process :biggrin: My Psychologist said he'd mail my report in and I would be hearing from SPB in 7 days. I realize due to snowdog's last post on this topic that I probably won't get a spot in this Academy :cry: Good luck to those of you who were fortunate enough to make this class.

[FayeValentine]

So, since I'm not at work today and was reading these posts jealously wishing that I too had completed the process, I decided to collect the names of those that actually have made it to the July class; so here there are:

Ah well I think they cleared me when they did to get me into the class so hopefully they will clear you right away and get you in.

[ValleyDivApp]

FayeValentine thanks for getting the list going. I believe it is tradition for the cadets to have a dinner the night before Black Monday. From previous posts it looks like the dinner is usually at the Hard Rock Cafe or the Spaghetti Factory. Both appear to have banquet rooms big enough to accommodate a group of 30+ which I understand is how many people showed at the last dinner. Anyone out there have any thoughts on where we want to have ours? Of course, if someone wants to chime in with more options, please feel free.

[Alpha_Recon]

I agreed, we should keep this tradition going. I'm a local in Sac so PM if you want to know about this city.

[lmcgrue32]

I had my QAP today.....my question is when you left the interview deep in your gut did you think you did well...or where there some shoulda woulda coulda's going on...i know to remain positive and just wait for that letter..but i wasn't completely confident walking out of there....any thoughts??

Just recieved my letter today and I've been invited to attend the next academy date which will be on July 21st. I am so exited, all my hard work is starting to pay off, now its time to take my fitness to the next level.

[DJR917]

I felt the same way, don't worry about it.

I think everyone goes through the "shoulda, coulda, woulda" mentality during the process, especially after the QAP ( at least I did). I left my QAP interview feeling the same way, just stay positive and focused on your goal. Be patient, no sense in worrying about something before you know the outcome. Good Luck.:biggrin:

[mgalvez2004]

Medical exam and stress test is tomorrow!

[cumminsdzl]

i think the dinner before the academy date is a great idea, i will be there, and as for the feeling after the QAP yeah i felt i could of done way better, but i was nervous and i gave it my best, i think everybody is nervous as to if they passed or not.

My personal congratulations to each and everyone of you. You are about to embark on a journey that will give you many rewards, close associations, memories that will last a lifetime, and, with your successful completion of the academy, a career that offers so much satisfaction and inner peace at its completion.

If you enjoy your new career 1/10th of how much I enjoyed mine, you will never be able to say "if only..." Good luck and stay safe.

Hi Guys, I just took my psych (oral) on 06/23/08. I just wanted to know how long it was before you were notifired after you took your psych. I hoping to make it to the July class! Did the psych Doctor hint that you made it, or was it simply a letter???

[CHP4LIFE.]

Had a couple of mistakes in the last post, typing too fast!!! :)

Hi Guys, I just took my psych (oral) on 06/23/08. I just wanted to know how long it was before you were notifired after you took your psych. I hoping to make it to the July class! Did the psych Doctor hint that you made it, or was it simply a letter???


I don't think that the psych doctor can hint that you made it, since he is not the one that makes the decision. It took me about a month to hear anything after I had my psych. What my psych doctor told me and from what I've heard from others, "No news is good news".

[BAK_Hopeful]

Has anyone heard anything new from Sac about availability for CTC-III? I see that USMC3003 has the latest update...has anybody else heard anything? I'm getting pretty anxious! :hitwall:

[mmachp]

ADD ME TO THAT LIST!!! I just got the call from my BGI informing me that I have been accepted to CTC III 08. I can't even begin to describe how excited I am :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Hey Guys, If I did my Psych a few days ago, will I receive a letter first, or will my BI call me?

Received a call at work yesterday from SPB, wanting to know my physical address so they could send my packet. I'm in.

Just curious about this quote because I was told that the CHP doesn't determine if you pass or fail the psych. I was advised that Dr evaluates applicants and determines if they qualify within certain guidelines, then they notify CHP. Can anyone else share what they have been told. Although I have taken psych tests in the past for other agencies and always past, it would be interesting to know who exactly determines the pass/fail.

Thanks!

[j26cole]

hb10 8, I was told during my psych that he would write a report and send it to SPB and they in turn would make a decision based off of the report.

[LadyVol@330]

I am so happy for all of you --the requirements to be CHP are strict, which means you are the cream of the crop! Now, just be patient and kind to yourselves when you are training at the Academy. Just keep in mind that proud graduation day awaiting you.

I think it's fantastic that you have this great place to come with your many questions for those with the wisdom and advice to help you through the steps. I'm sure they all remember well their anticipation and feelings of insecurity at times in the beginning. After you are out there in your first jobs, you will come back to do reports, full of stories to tell of the unbelievable things you see from day to day, and they will smile and nod knowingly as they too remember those first times out there with the unbelievable public. Onward and Upward!

[Tha Dunn]

Congrats to everyone so far, getting really excited, almost 3 weeks away!Just being curious, Faye are you trying to get into the CTC-III-08? And is anyone going to the CTC-I-08 graduation, my cousin is graduating and he invited me.

Dueces,

Tha Dunn

P.S. Is anyone else in the North State tired of this awful smoke! It's keeping me from going on my runs, I live close to the Concow fire and the smoke is pretty bad, my County is advising us to stay inside, anyone else having this problem?

CAL-FIRE keep up the good work!!! You guys are awesome!!!

[cumminsdzl]

Yeah the smoke sucks were im at too, but ive found that if i run in the mornings the smoke is less. But yes the smoke does suck, pick up day is getting closer ladies and gentlemen, it seems like ive been waiting forever for this and now its here im so exited!!

[mmachp]

The smoke is really bad where I am at as well. I run regardless. I figure I'd rather run and deal with the smoke, than not run and deal with the DI's :shock:

[FayeValentine]

Congrats to everyone so far, getting really excited, almost 3 weeks away!Just being curious, Faye are you trying to get into the CTC-III-08?

Hmmm....I have thought about this myself several times, it seems I will be in the unfortunate position of having really short notice for July or a lot of notice for November. It's nice to know that I have completed everything that has been asked of me and now it is out of my hands....I do have an unsympathetic employer who would most likely not keep me employed all the way to November, now that it is out of the bag that I am looking elsewhere. So, yes, I guess at this point July would be best- atleast monetarily.

[CHP4LIFE.]

Well Faye, we are in the same boat. I finished the pysch and am now waiting for a letter or a call. Do I still have a final background interview, or is the packet going to tell me everything. Also, for those that have the packet. I was told you need 2 types of shoes, 1 for the gym (cross trainers) and 1 for running (running shoes), is this true. They are also supposed to be white from what I was told, just FYI so you dont stand out. Also, all of the cadets in the pics on the chp webpage have white shoes. Can anyone help or confirm???

[FayeValentine]

Well Faye, we are in the same boat. I finished the pysch and am now waiting for a letter or a call. Do I still have a final background interview, or is the packet going to tell me everything.

As far as I know everyone has a final interview with there BI - however I'm sure your BI will let you know how your process is going to work out.

Also, for those that have the packet. I was told you need 2 types of shoes, 1 for the gym (cross trainers) and 1 for running (running shoes), is this true. They are also supposed to be white from what I was told, just FYI so you dont stand out. Also, all of the cadets in the pics on the chp webpage have white shoes. Can anyone help or confirm???

While I don't have a packet yet, I do know that you will need court shoes with non-marking soles, and good running shoes. I don't think the color matters as much as having them work for your feet and stride. But I know I will be buying new running shoes; as the ones I have at home are pink. blue, and green camo :biggrin: - those types of colors probably won't do you any favors at the academy!

[DJR917]

All white shoes will help you blend in :biggrin:

[CHP4LIFE.]

But has anyone heard or been told they need 2 shoes for PT, 1 for running AND crosstriners (for gym).

[LDA]

YES!!! You need 2 pairs of shoes, one pair for running and one pair of court shoes.

[Alpha_Recon]

Ok, so who's in charge of putting the dinner plan together? Can I get some information regarding this so I can possibly help get things situated or inform everyone of where to go?

[CHP4LIFE.]

What kind of court shoes do you guys have, and what kind of pt shoes do you have. I need to buy some soon.:think:

[ValleyDivApp]

Several weeks ago there was a discussion on where to have the dinner but the consensus was to wait until more people had received their letters and could chime in. That said, it is probably best to get this squared away now. In the past it appears the dinner was usually at the Hard Rock or the Spaghetti Factory but we can have it anywhere we want. Anyone have any ideas?

[j26cole]

Personally I think the Spaghetti Factory sound really good. So one for the Spaghetti Factory.

[Dark Knight]

What kind of court shoes do you guys have, and what kind of pt shoes do you have. I need to buy some soon.:think:



Non-marking court shoes, I bought some cheap white Nike's, they have a lot of support around the ankle. As far as running shoes I went with the Brooks "Beast" white shoe, they only specialize in running shoes and I'm extremely happy with them. You can find them at any high end sports store such as Sports Chalet.

[cumminsdzl]

spagetti factory sounds good to me, ive eatin there once before and it was very good!

[feedmelies]

Very cool. I'll be in this position in a year if things go as planned!

Good luck to all.

[rkhani]

Hello! I'm in the process too. I'm done with everything as of last week, maybe I'll receive a packet soon or it might be November. I'll be the one to receive it 2 days before, but I'll take it. Congratulations to all, and can't wait to meet all of you, Good luck! So maybe RKHANI can be added shortly!

[11629]

Being a member of CTCIII -85, I wish you the best. Good luck and good hunting.

[AmbuDriver03]

spagetti factory sounds good to me, ive eatin there once before and it was very good!

I too, have eaten at The Spaghetti Factory before, and I hereby cast my vote for The Spaghetti Factory for the pre-academy dinner.

(The Spaghetti Factory, is a proper noun, and should be capitalized as such)

[Dark Knight]

I would vote for something very light and filling say Subway:wink: and of course a light yet filling breakfast, cause you have no idea what your in for the next morning:lol: Please don't be the cadet who is showing us all what you ate the night before the very next morning.:razz:

[CHP4LIFE.]

Hey Guys, sorry to beat a dead horse, but I'm a CTC III 08 hopefull... but dont have the packet yet (still waiting-hope I make it). Does it say solid white shoes for running, I already have all white court shoes. Im just having trouble finding mostly white running shoes. Asics and Saucany are 2 of the best brands but they dont have all white!!! If you have a pair that works great, post the link of the shoe...THANKS!!!!!!! :wink:

[ValleyDivApp]

Just as an FYI to those planning to use I-5 to get to the orientations or to report to academy, portions of I-5 in Sacramento will be closed until the end of July. You can find out which lanes and directions will be closed on which dates by visiting www.fixI-5.com.

The packet simply says that you need a pair of "athletic" shoes and a pair of "court shoes." The court shoes must have non-abrasive soles so as not to mark or discolor the gym floor. Nothing is said in the packet about the required color of the shoes. That said, conformity should be your aim so I would avoid the hot pink camouflage Asics.

Actually not completely true. It says non-abrasive white soles. It does not say anything else about color but the court shoes have to be white on the bottom.

[DJR917]

All you need are white non-marking court shoes. When I was there a lot of cadets used New Balance. Now as far as the running shoes go don't worry about the color, just make sure you buy a good pair of shoes. I had a pair of red and white Brooks running shoes that worked great for me. It would actually be a good idea to go to a shoe store that specializes in running shoes, this way they can get the right shoe for you.

Actually the "white soles" reference is an e.g. to the court shoes requirement along with other e.g. examples such as "basketball, racquetball, or aerobic-type.'' I do not read this reference to mean that the soles must be all white as further evidenced by the fact that in every academy video I have seen the court shoes have had multicolored soles. Maybe a current cadet can clear this up.

Yeah that would be best if someone would clear it up. When I read that it seems like it must be a requirement for the shoe. It would just be weird grammar to write a list putting the or in there as if to finish the list but then continue it with another example. All I know is I'm going to be looking for one with white soles just to be on the safe side.

I've read alot of post from the previous classes and alot of people seemed to go with court shoes that have the gum soles, stating that they stick better to the gym floor/mats.
I got these, hopefully they are ok.

Great Choice. I have the same pair. Asics also makes great running shoes, although they do tend run narrow in the toe-box (Great for those narrow feet like myself). Make sure you get the pair that fits you. Personally I love the Landreth's, but I can't run a mile in GT2130's (one of the their most popular shoes).

Fleet Feet in Sacramento/Davis/Ect is a great place to get "fitted".

By the way, see you all on the 21st.

[ValleyDivApp]

The consensus seems to be The Spaghetti Factory so I have made reservations. Please PM if you plan on attending so I can get a more accurate head count to provide the restaurant. I will provide you the details once I get your PM.

I applied Jan 16, took my written Feb 2nd, but i'm also 23, and had a squeaky clean background.

The older you are, the more places you've lived, the more jobs you've held, etc... all factor in your background... I gather you're still in backgrounds?

If you're done with backgrounds... call your B.I. maybe something got lost? idk... wouldn't hurt to talk to him/her.

[dub29]

Passed background, along with medical and my psych. I just know five or so people that i went through the testing process with back in 2007 that are in the same position, just don't understand with millions of dollars being spent on "Now Hiring Campaigns" why people done with the process are not being utilized. Last unreturned phone call to my B.I was three weeks ago, must be busy!

I have the Rocky 5066s, and You only need ONE suit, just have an extra dress shirt/tie because if your cadet uniforms aren't ready, then you'll be wearing your suit for a few days (in classroom) until the cadet uniform is ready. (This is information I obtained from My Background Investigator)

[cadeetapplicant]

I have been reading this website for some time now and it has helped me understand many things which I did not want to bother asking my BI. Thank you for all the helpful information. This website is a nice resource.

For a while it seemed like I had a slim chance of making it into CTC III 2008. Although I was unable to make it into this one, hopefully I will be meeting you all as one of your Jr. Cadets in the very near future when the climate becomes a bit colder. Congratulations to everyone going to CTC III 2008. :cool:

Good luck to everyone. See you all on Monday! Cant wait to get the first couple of weeks behind me. Hope to see all 28 of the people FayeValentine has listed with a Verified Chippie under their name in six months.

Is it to late to sign up for the dinner?

No. As far as I am concerned, its the more the merrier! The restaurant may need to get a little creative with seating if we get too many but I am sure they can work it out. If you would like to attend the dinner, please PM today with the number of people in your party and I will send you the details. See everyone tomorrow.

Good luck to everyone starting the Academy tomorrow. Hopefully one day I will be in your awesome position getting ready to start the best job of my life. Keep your eye on the prize, be safe, and dont forget all the pain will be worth it in the end.
