No, AZBTR said that it will be 2-3 weeks before the grant package will be mailed out. (I really hope this is a case of over state delivery time) and  I would think that the package would have all the information  as to how to proceed from there. EDIT_ But, by 9am AZBTR updated the list and I...

Passed Civil Geotech. Congrats to all.

Had to wait to I got home, and I PASSED! Whoo Hoo.

3rd time is the charm! Passed Civil-Geotech in AZ! A Bug Shout out to the guys who helped me and supported me - Clyde the Glide and DC!

Yup just got mine, but I do not have the courage to look at it. Yet.

They pay good money for voice mail and they strongly believe that they should use it!

I took too much and left home the soils engineering book I needed the most. Took: Goswami, CERM, Geotech Engrs Portable Handbook, NAVFAC (Useless), Geotech Engr and Foundation Engr (Das) and many notebooks. I used my notes, Goswami and Geotech Handbook the most.

Due Diligence- I failed, twice. But only just, and as we all know, close only counts in hand grenade and nuclear weapons. I would add Soils & Foundations Manual NHI Course 132012 FHWA Pub No. NHI-06-088 (Free online). Design and Construction of Driven Pile Foundations NHI Courses 13221...

I failed Geotech 2nd go-round. 48/80 or 60%! Do it again. With so much invested, I can't see going to another discipline. I know I got antsy (1 step below rattled) in the PM and began the flip from boot-to-book. Losing time and confidence.

And here we go again (for the last time, I hope). Goodluck everyone.

Got my donation to you guys. I didn't pass, but awesome resource, and entertaining whilst I waited for the results. The least I can do.

Well, after all the anticipation and hope... I failed. by 10 f'in points. 46/80. Double the motivation to do this again next April.

Fail. Do it again, in April. Damn.
