Same here. Only 40 minutes to go!
Maybe we'll find out more in the 2pm session but I guess we're twiddling our thumbs for an unknown amount of time until basics start ?

How long does Onboarding take? All day, 1/2 day?Sent you one.
Took about 30 minsHow long does Onboarding take? All day, 1/2 day?
Not until you show up at the academy.Does anyone have a PIV card? im in the orientation right now and this is the first im hearing of this.
ok thanks.Not until you show up at the academy.
Yes, just use the code. You don't have health insurance until you opt-in. You have their standard life insurance and they are automatically contributing 3% of your pay to your TSP unless you choose otherwise. If you wait past the 60 days you won't be able to sign up for health insurance until enrollment opens up again next year or you have a qualifying life event (like moving, which we will most likely be doing at some point in the near future). If there are any problems with the way you filled out the form, they'll contact you.Anyone understand what to do for FEHB on EODS. I choose which insurance I want? For example I was looking at blue cross standard (code 10). If I fill out the SF-2807 form with those details, I’ll get that health insurance? Or do I already have like a basic health insurance since onboarding? Safe to say I’m confused lol
no, they just pay you for 8 hours a day from the time you onboardedFor any of you guys that onboarded, did you have to submit a time card while you waited for a class date? The hr staff doing the orientation didn't really know anything regarding atc trainees.

That’s correct, also if you have any pre-existing conditions, signing up for the FEGLI 5x life insurance is the way to go. They rarely have open enrollments for FEGLI so you have to decide now.
...and if you don't have pre-existing conditions, NOT signing up for FEGLI is the way to go, no matter what the super enthusiastic HR guy says. Look at cheaper life insurance from WAEPA or SIG (natcalife.com).
I hope he's getting a commission for how hard he was pushing FEGLI...and if you don't have pre-existing conditions, NOT signing up for FEGLI is the way to go, no matter what the super enthusiastic HR guy says. Look at cheaper life insurance from WAEPA or SIG (natcalife.com).
FEGLI fine when your just starting. But it goes up in price over time. I’ll probably switch in the next couple years. Their main point is you have to buy it when you onboard so if you don’t your locked outI hope he's getting a commission for how hard he was pushing FEGLI
