Stupid question I'm sure, but the EODS email is simply accepting/denying Basics, and then getting you on the EODS system to update information and to electronically sign three documents, correct? After this, I will get a CIL email with information concerning my medical and security checks?

Yes that's correct

I haven't received anything since the tol either.

I haven't heard anything since TOL was confirmed on 12/29. Was DC your initial rep? I am also curious to know if anyone who had her has gotten EODS or CIL. Sorry if I sound like a broken record with that question haha.

Also I'm not really going to start getting nervous until a few months have passed, I guess. I get it though - it does make you a little uncomfortable when you see others moving forward faster than you and you get that feeling of "oh nuts did I ... do something wrong??" Raise your hand if you double and triple checked that you actually said you accepted your TOL.

DC was my rep. I talked to Aviation Careers about 2 weeks after I learned she had left her position. They said, “We’re in the process of putting you all onto other reps.” They also said to give it a few weeks and to call back if I haven’t heard anything by then.
It’s been about a month since so I’ll probably call them sometime this week to see if there’s any update.

Yes, yes, and yes.
 
Had my medical today, thought it was a bit idk...odd? For anyone who has already done it, if you had anything during it that looked like it needed a little explaining like eyesight, BP, EKG, etc did they go over anything with you? I'm a bit congested with some allergies or cold or something so it was kinda messing with my vision in my left eye (I have 20/10 and have never come REMOTELY close to needing any kind of glasses or contacts), and my BP was a bit high (I had Costco pizza for lunch lol among other things, again something I've never had an issue with ever). But the doctor came in, asked me for my SSN, asked if I had minor knee surgery which I did, then he just looked at the computer for like 5 minutes and was like okay we're done and I left. I guess I thought it'd be a little more in depth? Maybe the doctor I had wanted to just get me in and out quickly haha idk. I just don't want something like a bad eye test or high BP from one bad test compared to all the others I've ever had affect me at all. But since he never asked me about any of it I guess I'm fine? Or I'll find out down the road. Just don't know how picky FAA is about what my medical scores look like.

You're probably fine, but some AME's are not very proactive or thorough, and might miss something that could get your package rejected by the flight surgeon. There is a standard for blood pressure, I believe it is 155/95 max for the FAA. If you exceeded, you should have been deferred. Once deferred an applicant would probably have to undergo retesting later on, or have to visit their primary doctor for further evaluation/approved medication/etc. I am currently having a hard time getting my past records over to my AME in time for the appointment, which is pissing me off, because I did what I was supposed to do ahead of time and someone on the other end didn't do their job right. These mistakes can lead to months long delays.

I had mentioned it previously, but the FAA medical is about as basic as possible. FAA flight surgeons know what's at stake whether it be as a pilot or controller. Unless you have a legitimate medical condition or history, you'll be fine.

Yeah..that vision test was the most interesting vision test I've ever had. I told them upfront I don't have proper prescription glasses because I don't have insurance to get them, but I do have a note from a Doctor saying that I do have 20/20 correctable, but yeah that was interesting

LM is my initial rep. I emailed her about it. Just got a response that says they are backed up and to be patient. But I have no idea if there is and rhyme or reason to the order of EODS or CIL being sent out. And that was two weeks ago.
