Collecting task videos this month. Nervous but excited. What did you wish you'd filmed more of?
Forty minute wait. Nova on the mat the whole time. Receptionist was kind and didn't interrupt.
Badge swipe floor and elevator manners. Coworkers finally stopped asking if the team is real.
Test day tomorrow. Bolt has been solid in practice but I always spiral the night before.
Turned around early. No shame in calling it when conditions aren't right.
Does anyone else struggle with overheating when the vest goes under a coat?
Updated photo, trainer sign-off copy, verify link screenshot for my records. Hope it helps someone.
Early walks, shaded breaks, extra water. Bolt overheats faster than I expect.
Lurked for months, posting now. You all helped me feel less alone in this process.
Regional airport only. Pixel spooked at the PA once but we reset and tried again. Progress not perfection.
Three years as a team today. Grateful for every boring training rep that got us here.
Go early, stick to the wall, treat pouch refilled. That's the whole strategy.
Worked recalls with mild distractions today. Not perfect but improving.

Some weeks the work feels heavy. This community helps more than I expected.

Willow leaned into me the whole time. Grateful training transfers to medical stuff.
