Told you I wouldn't update again till this happened.
After a good week of working traffic for the most part on my own over on local control, my supervisor returned from vacation and gave me a checkride. I passed pretty easily and was immediately certified on local, thus making me a certified tower controller.
The next day, Labor Day, I had the checkride on TRACON Data, which secured enough positions in the facility to earn me my D2 promotion and pay raise.
Now I'm on an 8 day vacation and tomorrow morning, bright and early, I'll be hitting the road westbound. Plan is to drive highway 2 till Leavenworth and then head over to Seattle for a couple days. After Seattle head over to the peninsula, stop at Hurricane Ridge and Crescent Lake, and then start working my way down the coast. Once I get to Pacific City, OR I'll head inland to McMinnville and then up to Portland and back home along the Columbia River. Should be an interesting trip. I've got 7 days to waste time out there so I'll try to enjoy myself as best I can.
