In this last instructor class they talked about the use of the DL photos for the CHL. It sounded like a fair amount of work has been done already to make that happen. If I recall correctly, I think they said they were hoping to get that going by the end of this year. That said, I'm still thinking about getting one of those Picturemate photo printers that Crossfire has mentioned. They can be had fairly cheaply on eBay and even if they do start using the DL pictures in the next few months, I can still use it for other purposes than just CHL photos.

An unavoidable expense is the tan tactical pants with eighty four pockets on them. They are required by the state, aren't they?

Oh, yeah, we use that little photo printer for everything! Well... everything that can be printed on 5X7 paper. It really does print professional quality photos, for about .29 each.

Don't have to be tan - olive works too. But there is a minimum pocket requirement.

They're cheaper when you buy them by the dozen...

Hey, laugh all you want... I'll never buy non-cargo pants again (except jeans and maybe suits if I ever need one). Those pockets are just too useful. It's like when I first switched to dual monitors on my desktop computer... I didn't know what I was missing and I'll never go back.

I have four pair.

She wont let me wear them to church anymore.

I was a daily jeans wearer until I tried my first pair of "tactical" cargo pants. I haven't worn a pair of jeans since. They've also been lasting about twice as long as a pair of jeans, which is a nice bonus.

Only CHL instructors can turn a tread like this into what kind of pants everyone buys..lol My exspenses have totalled about $2000 for startup..but most are one time purchases...including my cargo pants...

We've got the skillz that pays the billz...

Well, at least they do... I'm not an instructor.

Yes, we can. True professionals.

I don't think my startup expenses weren't too bad. I paid LegalZoom.com around 700 bucks for all of my LLC startup stuff, 450 bucks for a projector from Dell (which works REALLY good for movies as well!), 60 bucks a class for breakfast stuff and lunch for the class, 60 bucks for material to build sturdy target stands, 40 bucks for the targets (which will last me a bit) among other little odds and ends... I should be able to write them all off, hopefully though!
