Dreizehn,
Me too...same situation for me years ago led me to this forum. I was easing into inspection and was training under another CWI/Level III who had health problems(sugar diabetes), and soon after I took the CWI exam, he passed away suddenly while on the dialysis machine.
If it wasn't for Chet Guildford, Al, Joe Kane, Gerald Austin, thirdeye, Gerald, Lawrence and others that I'm sure I've missed; I would have been in a world of misery trying to figure all of this inspection out on my own.
Chet gave me probably the best advice when I was struggling getting the shop whipped into shape and getting quality back to the top of the list of priority. He said that it takes a lot of ocean to get a huge oceanliner turned back around after it has gone off course for awhile. I had become frustrated and felt I was beating my head against the wall for nothing, but that little shop turned things around over time and could pass the muster of any quality audit that was thrown at it.
