Alright fellas Medical is 100% complete... they had me do an EKG (I'm 24 and run ALOT, like 12 miles a week) the flight surgeon said heart rate was too slow... smh... I think she expects me to croak on position... "Southwest 1445 altimeter 3007 clear for Agghhhhh".... "Tower say again" but did 3 rigs and had to get a note the the independent doctor saying it was fine... this stuff is very meticulous... VERY

You might have athlete's heart which can be serious or not. They may just want to make sure.
 
Hope all is well with everyone! Good luck if you got a list of facilities and don't know it or if your FOL is in your junkmail. My process keeps getting pushed further back and back!!! Darn EKGs... I think i'm going to become a fat slob after this... maybe my heart rate will skyrocket and the next test will show 1 million beats a min... smh. This timeline is crazy. Look at the sporadic gaps of days towards employment.

Low key this has been the longest 183 days that I have vivid memories of me checking emails for updates!!! The advise just live your life and forget is really the only thing you can do. Honestly it feels like the further you get in the process the longer time seems to become!!! Does anyone else feel the same way?

I hear ya man. My initial wait from tol to cil was 3 months. Thankfully its only been 2 weeks since receiving my cil and all I've got left are physical/drug test scheduled for Monday. On a side note: been rocking the dad bod for years and every time I do my physical they ask me if I'm a runner bc of how good my heart rate, blood pressure, etc are. I usually get a good laugh out of it. It's probably the damn monsters keeping my heart racing. Good luck man! I'm in the north texas area as well and hoping this long wait is coming to a quick close very soon.
