Hiring Bid FAA-ATO-20-ALLSRCE-65607

Woah, wait, which bid are you from? I'm from the June 2019 OTS bid and I've taken a total of 3 drug tests so far. Are you telling me, you have/had to repeat all those other steps again only to be put at the very bottom of the list AGAIN? Which would make you wait, possibly until you have to redo the requirements... again? This sounds like an endless cycle to me and it would be nonsense if it were true. Am I misunderstanding? In my situation, it looks like I'll have to possibly take a 4th drug test which would only push me back further if this is true.

...Why?
2015 OTS bid. 2 DQ’s. While being DQ’d I didn’t have to redo anything until I became 100% cleared from my medical appeal. I’m not even mad, if this is how it’s supposed to be for me then dope. I’m glad I never gave up on it. Still worked and stuff, covid didn’t really help either but oh well. Can’t let it consume ya.
 
Damn do you have to submit another SF-86? Or is it something quicker like just checking to make sure you weren't arrested for something?
No idea, I have to wait to hear from someone from security

omg. I wonder how long that will delay you. are you from the Jan 2020 bid?
Yeah Jan 2020.
It’s weird because I had already received the email saying I was to be in the Oct 1st basics course. I think that’s still the case? I’m so confused…

Your attitude inspires me. It's also inspiring me to check in with my rep! It's been 4 months since I've heard from her. I've done what was highly recommended I should avoid--I've put all of my eggs into this basket and now I'm invested. Largely in part to covid, being laid off, told all my requirements were cleared, then asked to go back to my old job literally a day later (declined). I must push forward.

With that being said; any advice would be most helpful. Also my rep is CS.

That means a lot! I never really check in with my rep. Especially after she told me I was fully cleared and awaiting a date. That’s the best part for ME. I did call my HR yesterday out of the blue. I didn’t think she’d pick up but she gave me insight on my projected date and I requested a March date since I have a big family event I can’t miss in Feb. I’m number 260 on those being cleared.

Honestly my best advice is ENJOY the free time you have now. Be selfish with it. Try to hang out with the people in your life, or sleep as much as you like. Once you’re a student, you’re going to be hitting the books and so focused that you might just miss not relaxing prior. Don’t let waiting for a date consume you. It’s coming.
 
Anyone else with a projected in-person OKC date of November starting to look at places to stay?
I start 10/1 Enroute. Projected academy date of 11/5.

Could we be in the same class? I mean 1 day doesn't seem like it will make to big of a difference. 10/2 is a Saturday which is weird.

I submitted a request to Kim's Place today.
 
My other account got deleted so this is my second one. I have gotten word from DF as she has been out of work the last few weeks. I have been informed that I could potentially receive a November start date. Cleared 3/19/21.
