when is uniform fittings so I can go get my uniforms exchanged before everything is gone haha.

They don't call in order. They call based on the file that is on their desk that has been reviewed and approved. It doesn't mean you won't be called, your file may still be under review. They must exhaust 5003 before hiring off the next list btw. Also for the people that say they went through...
