Congrats to all the tadpoles growing legs and climbing out of the pool. If you live in Memphis....no need to read any further.
If you are planning on commuting to Memphis, I would highly encourage you to find a crashpad before arriving in Memphis. When I went through training last year, we were finishing class around 5PM and it made it very difficult to find a place, since most of the apartment complex type places closed around 5PM. There are plenty of crash pad locations listed on bulliten boards (you can have your sponsorer look for you) around the facilities, but with all the new faces coming out of the pool, those will go pretty fast.
Also, Memphis is not the safest of places, and you don't have alot of free time in training to get the lay of the land so to speak. The last thing you want to do is get a crash pad in a lousy section of town where your beautiful 1985 gremlin crashpad car will get broken into everynight.
Most crashpads rent for about 200-300 per month, so you can factor that into you first year pay.
If I had it to do all over again, I would have come down a couple of days early to get set up so that I wasn't running around like crazy the first few days after indoc. Just my 2 cents...take it or leave it. Congrats.
