So after all my clearances came in my HR POC was switched to TH, originally KH. Has this happened to anyone else? Hoping to hear from her today but idk if a POC switch affects anything, timing-wise.

I actually had apparently my POC change. Originally it was LM, sent a couple of emails for her but no response back.. Got my class date today and the POC was KG

do you pick out your medical plan on the 1st day at the academy? If not, what day is that done?

My original person was KH and I just received an offer for May 10 enroute from CS.

What class did they offer you?

 

[njeezy08]

What class did they offer you?

May 23rd (enroute), but I asked for an extension due to a wedding

So if you are assigned En Route, what are the classes you take at the academy? Is it just Basics (#50143) and Initial En Route (#50148001) or are there other classes before going to your facility? I'm trying to figure out end approximate end dates.

1 month for basics, 3 months for enroute. It's just two classes and you are with the same classmates throughout.

I have that class. But good luck getting your extension.

You’ll get a briefing on day 1 with information that’ll help you choose. You can make the decision anytime in your first 60 days through EODS, after that you’ve missed out. It takes effect at the beginning of the next pay period after you opt in.

Procrastinator here:

How long do medical exams typically take? As far as I know I'm the AME's first patient of the day (based off time) so I don't think there should be any large delays.

Just trying to schedule my drug test on the same day as well. I don't want a huge gap in between the two.

Anywhere from 30-90 min typically. Mine took 45.

Just get your drug test done ASAP. EMSI is the biggest group of dumbasses I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with.

My medical appointment was at 1030, drug test was at 1300. It was a 45 minute drive between the 2 and I even had time for a decently long lunch.

 

[memosmi]

Thanks!

Just got a May 23rd class date. Looking at the faa catalog that looks to be Enroute. So excited. Have some important personal plans that weekend and will try and delay by a couple weeks if possible

when did you take medical?

 

[Notch8]

Just offered May 23rd class date yesterday evening. POC is CG. Did my medical on April 4th and drug test on April 11th. My process went quicker than I expected.

 

[njeezy08]

3/5

This hiring process is fucking malarkey. It's total bullshit.

I'm 29.

I was in the Marine Corps for 6 years. I had a combat job and threw a hand grenade, fired an automatic grenade launcher, fired an automatic .50 cal machine gun, shot an M4 many times on the rifle range for qual(always Expert Rifle score) and drove a 28 ton Amphibious Assault Vehicle(YATYAS), went to Japan for a bit and (at my commander's retarded leadership) drove up a frozen Mt. Fuji (without anyone in my command getting hurt) in a fucking water tank.

I also led crews to mission completion as an Amphibious Assault Vehicle Crewchief. I left as a Sergeant in February 2019. My phone won't stop ringing to get me to re-enlist. I have an Honorable Discharge. My superiors and peers loved me and only have the best remarks to describe my performance.

The first and only time I applied to this job was in July 2018 when I was getting out of the service soon. I crushed the ATSA in October 2018. They threw a TOL at me in December.

I fulfilled everything in the CIL less than 2 weeks after I received it. I've been to Canada in 2005(I was 15), Japan 2017-2018, met my fiancee during this deployment. She's the sweetest woman in the world.

I have no medical disabilities.

I failed the magical MMPI.

I will have to wait for so many more months and maybe years.

Good thing though. I might hurt people if given the chance...

Jesus fucking Christ.

Bureaucratic bullshit.

Maybe you showed signs of narcissism...
Who knows?
Either way, thanks for your cervix.

Word on the street, the CBI basics course had a 50% pass rate. Luckily, the class is allowed a retake.

 

[Alpha_Sierra]

FC yuck, not looking forward
