Having time to read as many posts here as possible, I learned so much. I'm grateful to the forum for that! It helped immensely during the classroom instruction. I had the written part down pat. The shooting portion didn't worry me at all. I knew I'd do good on it.
What worried me the MOST(and I really fretted about it) was my fingerprinting. Knowing that PD had LOTS of trouble fingerprinting me in the past(took 4 tries) I knew I'd better pay attention to details. So I asked if anything could be done to help. I think CrossFire is the one who suggested that I use "Corn Husker's" hand lotion on my hands because it plumps up the skin really well. I started using it 2 weeks before class. Used it 3 times/day.
About 30 minutes before the class started fingerprinting I used it again. 10 minutes before I had my fp's done, I washed my hands.
Apparently it worked. No hang ups at all. Thanks for the tip CrossFire!(I hope I got that right). Corn Husker's is great!
