Finished at Crowder
Here is a recap of what has transpired so far:
Last Sunday: Arrived at Joplin on the bus where we are picked up by cabs and taken to Quality Inn where we spend the night.
Monday: Picked up on a Con-Way bus and taken to headquarters. We spend all day at orientation. Around 5:00 PM we are then taken to Noesho’s Booneslick Lodge.
Tuesday: First day at Crowder week long boot camp. Everyone is anxious and wonder if they have learned enough at their school to make it through this week. After learning that we get the opportunity to go through each exercise before testing the anxiety is lessoned. We also learn that the instructors here are good and they work to help you succeed. If you try you can make it.
Wednesday: We do a commentary road trip plus more shifting and backing on the range.
Thursday: 3:30 AM road trip plus more of the same training on the range.
Friday: We were scheduled for skid pad but canceled because of wind. We did more training on the range and obstacle course.
Saturday: Skills test.
Sunday: Finished test and get back to Booneslick early.
Note: we do test almost everyday. The written tests are rather easy. We also do a pre-trip test. It will be about the same as what you have already done but with less detail.

great blog...I have been reading your posts for the past hour....I am at now where you were in Feb. I am planning on Aug at Crowder...I do have a silly question though. You said you bought a new laptop. Did you have a place to secure it while you were at school? I want to do the same thing but I am a little concerned about getting it stolen. --- just reply here on your blog --- I will be back to check it....thanks in advance!! Again - great blog!
Big Poppa,
Are you attending the four week course at Crowder of the week boot camp? I attended the week boot camp where they put you up at the Neosho Booneslick Lodge. If you are attending the 4 week then you stay at on campus at the dorms. I have a case that I have my laptop in and I carried it with me alone with all the other information that you need. You are always needing the information that you put on you application, employment addresses excreta. When we were on the driving range excreta we would leave our stuff on the bus that stayed near us and safe. You can also leave it in your room but I carried it with me. I believe that you won’t have a problem bringing it with you. Good luck to you. Crowder is a great school.
