Thanks all!
As for our audits, there is one "official" audit, but prior to this, there are 3 comprehensive exams that are written to the rigor of an audit/NRC exam. The last 2 were also ball busters. Prior to those, we have 9 simulator phase exams that start out small but grow to the size of the comps as we progress through simulator. Prior to that, is 10 systems phase exams. So yeah, before we get to the NRC exam, we have, for all intents and purposes, 4 audits with one being the official sign off for the managers.
Now we have 2 full weeks in the sim before Thanksgiving, then a week after Thanksgiving, then the exam. Our chief examiner wants to get everything done in a week, except the written, so that is good. He is a no nonsense guy and I like that because its pretty calming knowing he doesn't want some elaborate song and dance during JPMs and what not.
