Third time was the charm. Called Tuesday, Oct 1, had correct SSC certificate in hand here in Houston on Oct 3. So, hats off to RSD for what ultimately was a speed resolution. Sort of.

Received a flat envelope from the state. Pretty fast turn around time, considering the storm damaged mail sorting center and that I'd called just last Friday trying to get the School Safety Certification certificate they didn't send the first time.

Opened it up and they sent me. . . . a second LTC Instructor's certificate.

Close but no cigar.

I'll call Monday and try again

Only received one, slight damp and folded LTC certificate today. SSC was not included. I'll will have to chase that down.

Don't know about you guys, but I have a ton of classes booked over the next month plus. Be nice to have the latest and greatest from RSD. I can parse the big pieces for myself, but hearing from RSD sooner than later would be nice.

The instructor witness has to sign it, but it's up to you to upload your supporting documents along with the LTC-90.

If you don't want to wade thru the clicks. It's vastly different from what they mailed out.
