At least you guys are hearing stuff from your medical. Mine hasn’t even responded in close to 2 weeks. ?♂️ Oh well, waiting it is.

I just email until I can't take it any longer. I don't believe phone calls are necessary. People should be trusted to use their email. I know that's not true, but the world is a better place when you trick yourself into believing it.

I started to, but once it kicked onto a voicemail service, I didn’t really see the difference between my voice and my email. Both are left alone until they can get around to it.

True, but the same goes for the emails. Either way, I might leave a voicemail on Monday or Tuesday if I haven’t heard anything yet.
I’m gonna do that too. It’s been 5 weeks which I know is normal but all these people getting fols after like 2 weeks is making me antsy
As soon as they can isn’t within 3 weeks for me I guess. Radio silent in all capacities now for me. I’ve called, emailed, cc’d the medical applicants email, emailed my hr poc who told me to email the medical applicants email. If I were told my stuff was received and with the FS or that they needed time to review it I would understand. I even got transferred to one of my med poc’s coworkers who also said she would leave a message herself with my callback since it was so long with zero response. That came up short as well. If I didn’t pry I wouldn’t have found out that they somehow lost or ignored my first email with my requested records that I attached. I’m not new to government bullshit, but this is a new low.

Sorry bud
I’m just sharing what has worked for me. My medical POC has been amazing. While my HR POC has not. Guess we all have our ups fan downs.

FWIW, when I took (and passed) the ATCOV on Tuesday, I was told my medical is being done through the southern region and I live in NY so there's that...
Yeah I'm in the same boat as well with BO as my HR POC. I finished up everything on 3/25 so a little bit later, but it's been radio silence for the most part from them. Might reach out next week for an update
The regions seem a little weird as it is. Like you’d think SW would include California but that’s western pacific. Oklahoma Texas etc are SW... for FS at least. Idk about the hr pocs and whatnot

Yes. You’ll get the same per diem on your placement day, which is the last day of “class” in OKC, then the following day is your first travel day where you’re paid at AG pay for your facility. Depending on where you go and whether you fly or drive, you’ll get 1 or more paid travel days where they’ll cover your flight and incidentals or an approximate equivalent if you drive. However, most classes finish early in the morning on their placement day, so many/most people choose to leave that day, especially if they’re driving. But you’ll get the per diem regardless.
Per diem is paid out until the day you pick your facilities. I moved out the day we picked, I was on the road by noon

on the facilities page in the resources, each facility has academy travel days listed. It's usually 4 or less. I THINK that is what you are talking about
Yea I've seen that before, but I remember someone saying you have a certain number of extra days you can take off if you need to.
I believe it's up to 64 hours of paid leave that you can use within your first two years at your new facility. If you're moving like across the country I would assume using all 8 days would be the most convenient.
