DCAS Defensive Driver course
Just a reminder to only do  the course on a NON SERVICE (non work) DAY. It can be done on multiple Listed Non Service days and once the course is completed check you email for the course completed message and print it then bring it into the office.The office is asking to try and get it completed sooner than later so they will have time to input all of the certifications and to process payroll and also to assist members who are experiencing issues.
 Thank you Scott

If you add up all the minutes from each section that comes to 6 hours and 21 minutes.
Then we had 8 separate quizzes at say 4 minutes a piece for a total of 32 minutes.
Combined that comes to a minimum of 6 hours and 53 minutes. My opinion is the Union should make sure each of us get paid a minimum of 7 hours which just happens to be how long it took me.

On our personal time? No ... at least time and a half.

Finally fucking finished...every module had 4 questions......6 hours later

[PROUD MEMBER]

I agree but we won't get time and a half reason being is we have never gotten time and a half in the past for watching DOE or any other mandated videos on our personal time.
We've always gotten 4 hours straight time pay. The only difference from this time and the past is in the past it never actually took 4 hours but we got paid 4 hours and no one (at least that I heard of) complained about time and a half then. So the precedent has been set and nothing's going to change it now. The only shot at changing it now is if all of us go to the executive board and speak up. I've personally learned that will never happen. I've stood up and have spoken for members and when the shit hit the fan NOBODY wanted their names mentioned and I got shit on. Having said that if you want to call the Executive Board and complain I'll gladly second your opinion.

For some reason I kept failing the last quiz and on the 3rd try I passed but it's over Thank God

That was Brutal !!! I've never taken a test that long in my life!!! My ADHD was really being tested today !

@PROUD MEMBER ... Nobody complained because 4 hours amounted to more than time and a half. Nobody spent that long doing those PDFs. (We're getting them in 2 weeks, BTW).

This was different. The timer doesn't lie. We did our 40 hours Monday through Friday. The law says we get paid overtime after that. We shouldn't have to convince the union of that.

[PROUD MEMBER]

Stop kidding yourself. Nobody complained because of two reasons first and foremost because every time we got paid four hours it only took us three minutes. Secondly because overtime pay went out the door contracts ago.
If what you were saying is true about we all worked 40 hours Monday through Friday and we deserve time and a half pay then many of us who cover extra work should be getting time and a half pay for Monday through Friday work. The bottom line here is no one (with probably me being the only exception) is willing to put their neck on the line for what they believe is right. And you just confirmed that yourself. Instead of saying that you would contact the Delegate, you say we shouldn't have to contact the Delegate.

I suggested it to Scott and believe he will bring it up with John Cleary.

And 10 security questions? TEN?!! Ft. Knox doesn't have that kind of security!

[PROUD MEMBER]

Let me just clarify. I believe we should get time and a half but because of contracts because of past practices, I don't think we will get it. But obviously it's worth a try.

And 10 security questions? TEN?!! Ft. Knox doesn't have that kind of security!

When I did the Training I was never asked any of these questions!!
