Additionally, during this training you may also receive 9D5 dunker, low pressure, and physiological training. I want to provide you with some information that may make your stay here in Tulsa a little easier.

Nametags are required on your working blue uniforms. Cloth nametags are preferred but not mandatory; they can be obtained through several sources.
