    Anyone know why AME's listed 30 minutes from me aren't on the list and I'm forced to drive at least an hour and a half for my medical? Are the AME's on the list a higher tier or something?

    Yeah seriously, I live in Philly and the closest AME on my list is an hour and half away lol

    Damn when did you take the MMPI? I just took mine today and I keep running through my head different ways I should have answered it. Hopefully Tier 2 will be quicker for you

    11/30 so I was among the first in this bid to take it. Same here though I really don't know which questions flagged me unless they thought my answers were too good to be true. Best of luck to everyone else

    You'll either get the old Tier-2 wait or the 2020 Tier 2 wait. In my case, only took 3 months due to COVID.

    You’re saying COVID made the process faster?

    Hard to say really. After being notified of Tier 2, I was expecting at least a year before progress would be made due to the horror stories of past bids who were Tier-2. However, people from the 2017, 2018 & 2019 bids managed to clear Tier-2 last year. I don't know if that would be the norm going forward or just a massive outlier. The end result was pretty moot since the Academy couldn't offer class dates until this year, so I would have had to wait regardless.

    Yes, less people going through the process. Tier 2’s are going a lot faster than the 2017-2018s that took us 2+ years

    Makes sense. Not much COVID is good for but I guess that’s one of them

    I keep telling myself that exact thing. I’ll probably be waiting regardless if I get tier 2 or not

    But I guess it’s still better than not knowing what’s wrong and just get stuck in the process

    Ugh this is my fear. I was supposed to take the MMPI today but they rescheduled for next week after an hour of my being there due to computer problems.

  14. ninerfour #3254

    Getting tier 2’d is also my fear ? I took mine January 4th so I’m just praying I get the all clear soon. Then I can wait a lot more patiently until I get an FOL lol. Every time someone posts that they got tier 2’d I freak out a little bit ??

    Welcome to the club. I took mine 12/18 and found out 1/6 I was going to be Tier 2'd. I'm still waiting to hear if I've been "approved" by the flight surgeon. I was told she doesn't know the time frame for everything once she sends it out, but could be 8 months. If that's the case, it sure beats the 2-3 years I've seen in other posts.

    So have you already done the tier 2 requirement and are waiting to hear your cleared or are waiting to start the tier 2 process?

    Meanwhile on Reddit, someone is posting on the hiring thread there asking if anyone has ever used synthetic urine to pass the drug test because they’ve used marijuana recently ???‍♀️ I feel a lot better about myself after reading that

    Just to give people a timeline since everyone seems to be waiting on their medical

    I took my MMPI (last part of medical for me) on 12/22

    Got my clearance email 1/7

    Good luck fellas!
