Congrats! What region are you in by chance? Not even 8am where I’m at. Curious if they really start calling this early or if you’re somewhere else hahaha
Also who is your POC?

Via phone call or email?

I'm in Minnesota, POC is KG. She sent me an email bright and early this morning at 8:30a.

Just received a start date. April 10, Terminal.

Congrats! From what I know so far, three people are at Kim's but myself and JMF are at IB. There should be at least six more people in the class though because when I asked my HR POC a couple weeks ago they said there were eleven at the time.

ETA: facebook group here.

If you don't mind me asking, what number did you call to ask? I don't plan on calling right now but if we hear of another wave of TOLs go out and I don't get one, I think I'd like to see where I stand in preparation for next bid.

Sorry, I've been busy. The number was (405) 954-4657.
I just told them that I had applied for the 2018 new hire bid and was looking for an update. She told me all about the TOLs and whatnot, then I said that a friend of mine was told his ATSA band and was curious about that too, so she let me know.

Was it your HR POC that emailed you or medical?

It was medical, because they need a report from one of my doctors. So she was just following up to make sure I received her request. In her email she also noted that my MMPI results and drug test cleared.

Sweet now an investigator is going to reach out to me. I knew when my boss shredded the letter it was going to cause a problem

 

[Itsallgucci]

My investigator called me mulitptle times throughout the process just to clear things up. Shouldn’t be an issue if you just give them a reason.

It varies per person and their background, also how quickly the employers and references respond to inquiries. I’ve heard it can be a year or even longer, depending on your clearance level. I got my TS/SCI in 30 days, other people in my unit took 6 months or so.
