Rollover Simulator....
Well we started training the first day here. Zero to a hundred on Monday. We spent the day in rollover simulator. Basically it is a box that is built like a hum v inside and spins. They put a crew of four in the hummer and put us through five different scenarios. Each one teaching the basics of how to escape a vehicle that has rolled. The first was an orientation, the second they spun us about five times and put us upside down and then we have to find the door that opens and get ourselves out. The third, spun us again about five times and this time we were on the side and have to egress through the top of the hummer. The forth, spin again five times, and once again on the side and have to egress through the gunners hatch on the top and then the fifth was spin again and then upside down, this time with a casualty and removing him from the hummer. All good training and kind of like a carnival ride. Busy day but good time. I actually went twice!! All is well, we are safe, but beat tired all ready!! Updates to follow.......

Joe,
Glad to hear that the training is going well. Hopefully old age hasn't set in already. I know it has with me. I would have been dead the first run.
Continue to keep yourself strong and healthy. Get all the rest that you can. Take care and be safe.
Love ya Cindy
This whole blog entry made me want to throw up from all the spinning. I was at a carnival once on a ride just like this. There was a sign posted next to the ride that said, "You must be THIS TALL to egress from this ride." I didnt listen and my funnel cake was all over everything.
Have a great time!

The weather here has been really nice.It is supose to be in the 80's this weekend. I hope that doesn't mean that Cali has been really hot.
