    Orientation tonight

    Very excited, I have orientation coming up at 6 pm. Look forward to learning all the rules for the academy and procedures. One quick question, my recruitment officer said it was casual, but I had clients visiting my office today so we were required to dress up shirt and tie. Is this going to be a problem? I do not want to look like a suck up showing up dressed up, but I have no time for changing as the academy is on the other side of the city and I have to rush out right after work.

    No issue with being over-dressed, only if you're under-dressed.

    HA! At least you have no problem with ego!:D You can always shed the tie, but I doubt anyone will give what you wear a second thought. It's the guy looking like a bum that draws attention.
    Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine

    Well orientation came and went. All in all it was pretty good. About two hours of putting my signature on page after page of paperwork. Learned all the stuff I need to buy myself, and get to pick up my actual gear on Thursday. We are going to pt on Tuesdays Thursdays and Fridays at 630 am but I am looking forward to that as they said there will be a lot of swimming. Getting close to crunch time now!

    ps no one called me long dong silver :mad:

    Unless they called you "tiny" or "stubby" (espec. if you're tall), I wouldn't be too disappointed.
