General Overview of Experience	Extremely pleasant experience. Everything was on time and precise and the staff was nothing but courteous and friendly. Turned in paperwork first thing in the morning and then intro from Captain Holmes. He explained that he would like to hire each one of us and did his best to dispel the rumors and bad gouge out there. Then I started with the morning testing block. Then lunch and HR portion in the Afternoon. There was quite a bit of downtime between events, plenty of time to get to know other applicants. About 10 of us got together for dinner the night before. That helped with nerves and seemed to make everyone more relaxed.
