In my building's experience, getting the new uniforms takes about 3 months. I hope they have enough old supply to provide the summer temps.

I have managed to get 3 of the new polos and they make a world of difference in the heat! No more drenched button down shirt.

Drenched polo??

Drenched polo??

Yes but hides well and is a "dry knit" material. Very light and flexible. The outgoing button downs could be considered cruel and unusual punishment in the summer.

I like the "old" shirts. Then again, i like alot of things that are considered cruel and unusual

I start Integrad next week for package driver. HR gave me a pair of pants and an old tuck in short sleeve shirt because that’s all they had. They placed an order for me but I don’t know when I receive it. I was hoping sooner than later because with the weather I would like the shorts. (Hoping they put that in along with my pants order)
I also would like to know what’s a good recommendation for boots and sneakers? I was thinking maybe boots with pants and sneakers with the shorts. Thanks in advance

I wear redwing boots. They are heavy. It is hard to run in them and you will want to gradually run during your 30 day qualifier. I ran in my boots but dont recommend it. Alot of other drivers bring running shoes in their bag.

I like my redwings. They have served me well. Thet are pricey though. Many other 4th year+ vererans wear keens

The driver drill is probably the single most dangerous part of our training.

I agree.

I also hate how they want us to honk while reversing. Why not install a back up beeper so i can scan my mirrors and back up cams

There’s been a stack of order forms in my center waiting to be submitted since early May. Take them pants to the asian lady around the corner and make some shorts or your summer is going to be rough!

I went through intergrad last July. Yes, learn it all verbatim. Of course they’ve changed the 10 point commentary from last years version making it more complicated to get down pat. Maybe I will see you in class as I an being sent again lmfao. I still have my “diploma” from last year, but not scratching my training route caused a DQ. Funny thing is I’ve been driving the entire year with the volume, just not in an official capacity. That’s their way of screwing me out of ft benefits imo. Good luck with the class in any case

I'm stressing out. Was told the 10 explanations coul summarized and only bold words verbatim

3 months? Shouldn’t take more than a couple weeks. If it does file.

File a grievance. They can’t just choose to not order you uniforms.

Grievance in my local wouldn’t be heard for 4 or 5 months at best. That wouldn’t do any good. The best strategy I’ve been able to use is just wear the crappiest ones you have til they get tired of looking at you that way lol. At least they’re still comfy

Might as well learn it verbatim just in case. Set some time aside and write them over and over. It helps with memorization.

 

[Air Recovery]

Learn it verbatim. Then, no mtter what the instructors want to hear youre good.

Why would you put up with that ?

A dues paying member.... has alternatives.

Grievance process is very very slow here also

"Others" are trying to convince me.... things will be different.
