We sure did! Did our orientation at the home terminal the Friday prior to reporting to Atlanta and so far we are at the end of Week 2 of the new 5 week program. Its pretty great. The facility is nice and the Instructors are awesome. Haven't had an experience otherwise. There is a lot of material and a lot of reading to do after school. Not something to slack off on but also not something that is close to impossible. Ive had on average an hour of reading a night. Sometimes more than others. The tests are easy as long as you study the material and pay attention. It's different, but a ton of fun.

Good to hear. Glad everything is going good for you. I actually just heard that CSX is on a hiring freeze. You hear anything about that?? Not sure how true it is but it didn't make my day when I heard it lol. Good luck the rest of the way.
