How are numbers assigned for DE?

[Lainey]

Darren,
Thanks for the advice- I'm pretty serious about getting up to speed (no pun intended) and enjoy the experience to the max - and be safe! I have some lucky numbers and just wanted to see if I could "reserve one".... but like in football or other sports, I assume certain numbers are already taken!

I have read a lot on the PCA websites, very helpful - one from NNJR PCA on DE, learning signaling, etc. Just about everyone has been great with tips. Half the fun is in the nominclature, lingo, etc.

I know I have a ton to learn, but hey that's what's so cool about this. If I can get prepared in other ways, do tell.

What is NASA? Astronaut training?? Wow!
