More Backing

Wednesday was a busy day. Started off at the eye doctor for new glasses and sunglasses for both of us. (OUCH!) Gotta have em tho, tools of the trade. (tax deductible).
While we were there, Brittany called from Basic training. She re-injured he knee, and is in a medical hold squadron until she finishes some physical training. Then she will be discharged due to pre-existing condition. If she would have injured it there, they would keep her and rehab, however, it was there before, so they just send her home after she is back on her feet fully. She was pretty down about it. As I told her, he tried, She did more than alot of others, be proud that you volunteered and tried, Brit. We still love ya!
After lunch we went to school for more BACKING, again. Kim kept working on the straight line while I did some more parallel parking. We both struggled a little at first but by then end of the day was starting to get it down good. We are scheduled to spend the first 4 hrs Thurs morning. Kim is scheduled to take a drive thru town again in the afternoon, then I take a drive in the evening.
When I got on the computer to check emails, etc, we had an email from the recruiter from CFI. She said she knew we were planning on a different direction, and that I ha told her some of the reason was the merger with conway, etc. She asked us to reconsider, offered to give us phone numbers of some teams working for CFI to talk with, and wanted to assure nothing has changed. Hmmmmm,,,we put the numbers down on paper ($) , called a CFI trainer we have met to ask him the feelings on the street, and have done some reconsidering. Need to talk with her and some others again. We do like the idea of being more central in Joplin, and training is shorter and MUCH better pay while in training, then we would be earning sooner than Interstate as well. They just don't offer a tuition reimbursement, however, the difference in $$ while training, and getting on the road quicker just about offsets that program.
