HazMat transportation


Just a month ago I finished a class on the transportation of HazMat, or hazardous materials, in Cp Ripley, MN. The class was approx 60 hours and 4 tests spread over 10 days. Since that time I have since been put sent to Ft. Lewis, Wa where we're preparing our equipment for our upcoming deployment to the middle east. Just got back from training less than six months ago but am using equipment that we skimmed over in class, however the actual equipment is very similar in concept and operability to what I had trained on. On another note, as my family has probably noticed or heard, I finally got my promotion to PFC (Private 1st Class) in January for a few extra dollars and change in my pocket.
