Peter, I read that you said you printed out the day to day training schedule. I've looked for it, but can't find it. Could you point me in the right direction. My son's PIR IS 12/4/09, so we have a ways to go and would love to track his progress. Thank you!

Peter, for those times when your vision does not want to function and you can't read as well as you would like, just hold down the CTRL key and hit the plus key on the numeric 10-key section of the keyboard until the words are legible. When you are ready to put the screen back to normal, hold down the CTRL key and hit the minus key. (If you are using a laptop, hold down the CTRL key, then Shift and plus at same time.)

Peter,
Thanks so much for the kind words, and the great tip! I will be printing out the schedule for myself! The "checking off" of the days will really work for me!!!
