Hiring Bid Air Traffic Control Specialist - Trainee: FAA-ATO-17-ALLSRCE-53474

Wow, 8 days from medical to FOL. Mind blowing. I'm in the same region and I did medical on 2/14 and still waiting, but I did have that little hiccup with the drug test.

I know, I was super surprised when I got the call. I took the drug test the following day actually, so it was really only 7. Crazy shit.

Ya that’s ridiculous lol. They’ve liked to give me all my stuff in any date including a 7 lol. Hoping for this week or the next so I can get the HECK out of my job as soon as possible.
 
Still waiting on my CIL from KG. EODS was done at the start of February.
Pretty sure we’re the only ones that have waited over 6 weeks from EODS to CIL this bid. Frustrating because I’ve seen a lot of people get their stuff way after, even people with our rep.

Medical Test today and mine was pretty thorough. Took about an hour and the AME was not messing around at all. Wanted every detail possible from what I put on my sheet. Also was vague on some questions to see if my story matched what was on the paper. Wanted details about OTC medicine (like what else am I supposed to say). Vision test was weird as to me, the whole right side was blurry. Also said my vision is 20/30. He said the next step would be to go to the eye doctor to get it corrected to 20/20. He said they will probably only need a note saying it has been corrected. Already scheduled the eye exam right after the medical was done

Holy crap dude. I had the polar opposite experience when I did mine. Guess it all depends on the doc.

Yeah that vision test was weird I have 20/10 but I couldn't hardly make out anything on the left column.
 
My vision is complete shit, but I wear contacts corrected to 20/20. I straight up laughed when he asked me to do it without them. I can’t see anything a foot away from my face, so I just saw blurs in that part.
 
Just completed my medical. It took 2 1/2 hours!

Summary: I am in poor condition... ... ... but within acceptable guidelines to be cleared! (or he thinks so)

Drug test tomorrow and then back to waiting.
 
Two and a half hours?? Doesn't it normally take like half an hour?

That was my understanding. I'm clocking it from the time the nurse brought me back to the time I walked out the door. I probably spent a good hour of that time just waiting to see the physician after I completed my exams.

blood pressure
vision
urine analysis
hearing
EKG
physical
review

2.5 hours.
