Actually, I thought it was that AVATAR of yours they saw! It has that "you really aren't gonna screw my application are you?" look!

Hooyah!

i think he hacked into their system .

you know how these kids are these days .

Arnoldstrong...don't feel guilty I think it is cool that you are getting this done at your age. I have learned a lot through this process and one thing that I have made up my mind about is that as soon as my 13 year old is ready (at 21 years) she will have hers also. I admire a young person who accomplishes something like this. If you look around the forum I would bet the average age is late forties to fifty years old. Of course we didn't have the choice before 1996.

My father got his CHL the first year it was available. He kept after me year after year to get it. My career has led me to working a lot of shift work and a lot of weekends and I never could get the class done because it was always on weekends. My Father passed away last year so my Father's day present to him this year was to do my CHL class. A little late but he I got it done and I will see it through. It might be frustrating but I will see it through.

Anyway, got off track....don't feel guilty,I've had an interesting life and somethings I will need to explain but you can be proud that you recognize and exercise your rights guaranteed to you by the Constitution ov the United States.

No kidding! It's almost like trying to figure out someone else's poker hand. Background checks, changes in jobs and residences, the luck of the draw in fingerprint and photo acceptance or reject. The combinations are endless.

I have worked with people like this. What ever combination of requirements you brought to get what you needed. He always came up with one more requirement and wouldn't give you what you needed. Very frustrating. That's what frustrates me with this.

So, I guess having seen this process in action first hand....lets just pull off the gloves and "throwdown"

I needed that laugh though. Just got off the phone with my State Senator. On hold now with the Governor's office. I took your advice Joe....I am going to light them all up!

We will see what happens

My computer video cam caught me checking my status yesterday after talking to CHLB!

Video Cams!

Crazy huh! I've got more than 39 days on my second set of prints and they looked just like the first set!!
