Still a few openings left in Hydraulics class set to start on Monday - email me if you are interested and in need - reminder to have a calculator with square root function ( I do not recommend scientific calculators for 2 reasons - you can’t use them on promotional exams and some require more steps then a basic calculator does for the same problem )

Reminder to all those in Hydraulics class - you need a calculator with square root function for class !!

I will provide a workbook for all to keep

Well I’m set to offer classes on the dates posted so i can send out sign up info …..BUT I am still waiting for the FSFC to assign offering numbers to the courses!! Someone up there says they are “working from home” but nothing is getting done - I’m trying folks !!

I will keep all posted ( worst case scenario I will keep apparatus operations the same dates and have to move hydraulics if I do not get a response in time for everyone to make arrangements) but for now I’m sticking with it !!
