First, congrats on a date, girl!! And so soon!!
Second, I had the opposite happen. I began this process in September then just a few weeks ago AFS called me. I declined, of course, and continued my clearance for here. I'm cleared but can't get a hold of my HR rep, TH, to talk about my living and school situation. I have been a stress case these last few months!
Short Story Short: I'm still waiting. ?
Short Story Long: I can't get a hold of my HR rep, TH, so I reached out to CS. She was kind enough to give me some insight regarding school (I'm attending online college). The information may be relative to others without a date. "We are not filling the May classes yet, however, you most likely get one for May, in which would virtually onboard and would come to the academy at a later date, but that is not a guarantee because I do not know how many students TH will have to place in class." As I said, I've been unable to reach TH so I can't ask about anything further. (Her phone goes straight to VM).
Advice Needed: I took a new job JUST IN CASE something doesn't happen here (government shut down, hiring freeze.. who knows! The possibilities are endless with the federal government and I'm not going to count my chicks before they hatch). But this new job requires an academy. Would you attend the 4-week academy or would you bail out and go back to your last job (yes, that is an option for me) and just chill while waiting for a date?
