Hello to all you out in the NAFEX forum. I have been trying to join for a week with technical issues. A HUGE thank you to Mario for making it happen! I have been reading so much on here and will be commenting and participating in things, but please give me grace as I am very new and learning. Any comments I make are out of curiosity or ignorant excitement. Thank you for sharing your gathered wealth of knowledge and great stories with me!

Welcome Ed. Glad to see admin was able to help rectify the bugs.
Hi Ed so are you a apprentice? Or a pre apprentice. I hunt out there from time to time
Ed, what Dave is really asking is "Do you know of any good fields?" toungeout
I am a pre. I have been studying my back side off and will be testing soon.Quote:

I'll even keep your spots a secret and won't frequent them without you when I get my first bird. thumbsupp Of course I will buy into your famous stories you tell too:DQuote:

Thanks Dan, my sponsor told me that we have a great group of local folks around. I am sure Mike is one of those I'll be meeting and learning lots from.

Welcome Ed!
Hi Ed, welcome. :)
Thank you all for the warm welcome. I just wanted to.....well, boast I guess. I passed the test today! So I am over the first hurdle. Time to finish my mews and perch.
Merry Cristmas and may you all enjoy your families and blessings this week!
Ed
Grats!
That's great, Ed. You are on a roll!

Thank you Colt and Bill. I am super stoked! Can't wait until Sept. 13, 2014!

WOOHOO!!! I got my license in the mail today. I am not there to see or hold it yet, but my son verified that it is indeed at home. So I guess that makes me an official apprentice!
Nice Ed!
Took them a little while did it?
Well, I don't know what the standard wait time is, but my wait was exactly 2 weeks from the day I mailed in my app with check and equipment list to the day I received the license back. Considering the mail is typically a one day trip from house to the Reno area where the application is processed. So I would consider that a long time, but I also realize that if there is only one person over special permits and if she goes on vacation or sick leave or something of that sort, then that would add to the time frame. There was an observed holiday in there too. I do think it is funny that the check has still not been cashed from my checking account though.Quote:
