Good luck, I also applied for the "A" program a while ago hopefully we both get in. I've been working for almost a year now in the R program. Actually Brian John helped me get the job, thanks again. I already passed my test and got my interview. I have learned a lot from the people I work with and so far I only got one hole in my Kleins . Hopefully we get that acceptance letter.

Thanks and good luck to you too.

As far as the hole in your Kleins, it must be the hole that they came with.
Was your interview on the 19th also?

You must not have much of an imagination. I would pass any drug test easily but I don't have to worry since we aren't subject to it here. I'm sure it happens sometimes but it just isn't a big problem in practice.

Now when people come to work having not slept enough, that can be a hazard. Is there any money in testing for that?

Also, why aren't cops drug tested? Won't someone think of the children?

Wow..., Ok. Have you been to the LOCAL JATC web page lately? Somebody with the name "Ed" has posted on there about any "early acceptances".

Typically, though it may have changed, "A" apprentices do not start work until August, unless you wish to work in the "R" program.
