Eh, no problem. I got to send out the fingerprint card out on Monday and that should be it. I do want to ask you if you know what city the training is going to be held at?

Welcome to OSHA, time to travel, eh?
There are several places for OSHA training, but the main one is the OSHA Training Institute in Arlington Heights, IL (a Chicago suburb).  Nearly every OSHA agency (fed and state) send their people there.  Very occasionally there will be an outsider, but that's kind of unusual.  Most of the classes are of the 1 or 2 week variety (class starts on Tuesday, runs thru Friday), but there are shorter ones. I've never heard of one particular class running longer than 2 weeks.   It's a nice place, with several hotels and decent places to eat in the area.
Of most interest to the crowd on this board is Mitsuwa Marketplace, across the street and on the corner from OTI. That's a Japanese shopping center (used to be Yaohan Plaza). Grocery store, book store, food court, video rental place, several small shops...  I was last there during ACen in May (it's almost a prerequisite for ACen attendees to get over there), and IIRC the liquor store is still there too (they sell good sake, but I wasn't in the market at the time).  I used to like to take unsuspecting newbies to the fish/meat cases in the grocery and watch them freak out
Don't know when I'll get the chance to go back - we haven't been able to go for 2 years now because of budget cuts.
