Hey guys- just to confirm- if you go to academy you have weekends off? I have a family wedding that I'd love to make on a saturday...

FAQ only mentions federal holidays as to when the academy is closed.

Thank god- I've been stressing about the academy date coming early enough to make the wedding in July- looks like I won't have to stress- thanks so much!

Got my class date this morning. Terminal 2/27
CG is my HR rep. For those who drove from the mid Atlantic region, which route is more enjoyable to drive? Going through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, or going through Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas?

congrats. There’s a thread already made for our class in the Academy Classes page. Terminal - Terminal Basics 02/27/2020
We’ve also got a Facebook group put together as well. https://m.facebook.com/groups/61117...ctivity&notif_id=1577993135329231&ref=m_notif

PSA: Your drug test kit is mailed to the facility and your name is on the bottom of the sheet that comes with the kit.

The medical staff spent a whole hour and a half looking for my drug test kit before they realized the name on the top of the sheet wasn't the name of the person getting tested. I had to pee too. Badly.

Anyone know what the timeframe is for medical/drug test to be submitted and checked off with HR? I'm sure the holidays have delayed it a bit, but I'm ready to get to work! Physical was accomplished on 18 Dec and Drug Screening done on 2 Jan.

You will have to go back and do one.

I did not have the urinanalysis done either and so far the flight surgeon has not requested it. He's requested other stuff, so I imagine if that was something that I had to go back and do they would have already mentioned it.

I took both my medical and my drug test mine 12/11 and received my FOL 12/27. Your medical has probably already been looked at by the flight surgeon, but you might have to wait a lil bit as your drug test was just completed yesterday.

 

[Yukatan]

Based on the timeframes you guys are describing I should probably expect an update on the week of the 13th this month, assuming no issues or any further documentation is needed on my part.

Do you get confirmation that you cleared everything?

I did my medical on 12/19 and drug test 12/20. Even with christmas and new years, I got my class date 13 days later. I did my drug test on a friday and the guy doing the paperwork said that the lab would have the results sent out by Monday.

If anyone else failed vision on their medical like me, got a email from my medical POC with a form to give my eye doctor to fill out and submit. Not sure if that means I avoid having to take another medical exam but fingers crossed.

 

[AirGuru]

Yep, my email about a start date was exactly 13 days after I submitted my final thing, too. And the drug test people said they usually have results in 2 business days.

Random issue: I just got my pile of post-FOL forms to fill out on EODS, and under the required reading PDFs, the one about the Hatch Act links to a DOT website that I can't figure out how to access. Anyone else have this issue, or find a way around it, for the sake of not lying about having read it?

 

[PerchPerkins]

Just got FOL from LM!

 

[bdenny20]

I got my class date, 3/17, terminal.

What do I do next? Now that I'm going, I'd like to know more about the syllabus and life while at the academy.

Didn't work for me either

I've just started on the security portion of pre-employment. What, specifically, are you supposed to put in for the first and last space on DOT-1631? Also what do we put in for "Position to which appointed" and "Department, Bureau and duty station" on SF87? Not sure how specific to be here
