I’m just finishing up my home study course. When I received the requirements for Arizona certification/registration, it stated 30 parallel home inspections with a certified home inspector. One ride along every day and that’s 30 days. Two on the weekend and that is 4 months. That is if you can get that many lined up. Can anyone from Arizona give me some advice or tell me what you did to get these. I was wanting to go on a few ride alongs, now it looks like I have to go 30 times before I can start doing paid inspections.

Don’t expect your direct competition to help you.
I'd get ahold of some inspectors in Tuscon or Flagstaff and ask them to take me for ride alongs. You certainly won't be in direct competition with them.

We got copies of those ads which are in violation of ASHI’s agreement not to disparage NACHI and we found other non-ASHI members in AZ who were financially damaged by those ads. Damages could range into the millions.
Class action suit time.
Let's do your Chapter soon. We'll bust this wide open.

Nick,
Point this out to ASHI National. They really need to stop this stuff. I'd also be tempted to cram a certain e-mail up the (you know what) of a certain NAHI executive director.
I know you continually tell me to let this stuff go, Nick, but it's hard for me. Really hard. 
Our members are being damages as we speak. They cannot wait to until a NACHI chapter is formed. Sue the crap out of them...
So how about it, Scott? Is this stuff true?
