Sounds cool. Maybe next year.

How is that every other week commitment divided between weekends and weekdays?

There is another thread around on this topic but I think the answer to your question is "as the new guy on the block" (not THE Block), don't count on getting to work on the weekends.

Zippsy,
"the answer to your question is "as the new guy on the block" (not THE Block), don't count on getting to work on the weekends."

That is not entirly true - dive days are assigned on the basis of the different teams needs. Not everyone wants or is able to commit to a weekend day. We do have a number of new divers that have started on weekend teams.

I sit close to entirely corrected. I did, however, base my answer on my recollection of poe26's reply in the earlier thread:

Terri,
The answer to that is no. Did you State on your form that you would be available during the week? The week end spots are tough to get. You can also touch base with Chuck E. He may be able to give you a better idea on a start date.

No You are assigned to a day and you come in on that day every other week

What I stated in another thread was correct. The spots on weekends are offered to those in the program who need to change days due to promotion, new job, et al . If there are positions still open on the weekend teams those are offered to the new divers on the list in order of ranking.

Me too. It sounds great but I could see my boss's face when I ask for every other Tuesday off for the next year.

Thanks for the info.
