Hiring Bid Air Traffic Control Specialist - Trainee: FAA-ATO-18-ALLSRCE-57792

So I took my drug test last Friday and my medical isn’t until March 7th, why does it matter if it’s within 5 days? I’m assuming I gotta go pee in a cup again. Seems really dumb.
 
Did my physical, drug test, and MMPI today. Manager was kind enough to give me an hour long tour of the tower and the approach/departure room. Was notified that I cleared security as well so now I guess the next step is to just wait.

Is EODS the next step or is that the OF-306 that we already filled out? I see that some people who got their TOL this week got EODS and CIL as well.

when did you submit your eQIP? How many days ago?

Did your security POC email you to inform you or was it someone else? Just curious. That was super fast.
 
Glad we both got one, brother!

In other news, sheesh HR is on top of things right now. Got my TOL son Monday, received the EODS email this morning, and had my CIL this afternoon. Props to them
Really?? I got my TOL on Monday as well and sent it back signed the same day. They emailed me the next day saying they received it but haven't received anything else from them.

How where you notified? Was it from your POC?
 
Would my security investigator be concerned by me resigning from my job without advanced notice? I'd really rather not stay there any longer, have been there 5 years. Haven't submitted SF86 yet, no security email yet, coming up on 10 business days since the CIL though.

I have a few months of expenses saved up and would rather have some time to handle all my affairs, relax some and work small gigs in the meantime for money.

That's pretty brazen. I hope for your sake that if you do, you're not tier II'd. Everyone says you shouldn't make any big changed in your life until you get your FOL/class date.

Fingers crossed about the Tier II or any delays, but do people say that mainly because of financial stability or because it's concerning for your background investigation?

It depends on who your HR rep is I'm assuming. KH has been on top of her stuff as far as same day or next day turn around so far

Well.... they will send a questionnaire to that employer. It will depend what you boss has to say about you after you walk off.... why not just put in a 2 weeks

There's no such thing as a tierII for security.
You can quit, you'll be asked why.

There's no Tier II for security, but you can be denied a conditional security clearance and require a full investigation, which would add months or even years to your timeline in the same way that a Tier II would. Somewhere around here there's a document that spells out what factors would lead to being denied a conditional clearance, and I'm pretty sure there's stuff in there about leaving a job on negative terms. So yes, it's possible that this could negatively impact your hiring timeline.
 
Does anyone know what is the fastest anyone has gone from CIL to FOL? Just genuinely curious. Also heard from a controller I personally know that vets usually get their security clearance faster if they have already had a secret clearance before, which I did when I was in.

The ones I posted? Yes I’m aware.
