I was at the very end of the list. It took me 6 months to get my PAT, and each thing after that was another month apart
Okay cool.
From what I have heard from some of my friends who are instructors, it's no joke anymore. They have drill instructors and will punish the entire class. Simple things like having an all black bag with no markings wasn't even required in my class. I don't know how far they go with it, but the days of slacking off and not paying attention are over. I wish you all luck.
Someone always screws up. Heard you guys out there this morning. Good luck the rest of the way.
Who are your DI's?
No clue still trying to remember names lol

How long does it take to get your intake letter? If I complete my packet of paper work what's the next step?
I havent seen anyone 600/800 with a letter for medical. It all goes basically in order. There may be a few people out of place but for the most part you can count on it going in order. Some things just take longer than others
I got my letter for investigations a few days after my PAT to come in 2 weeks after I had taken my PAT. I was away and didnt see the letter till the tuesday before the friday I went in and I was able to get it all done in time. Youll be fine its not hard, alot of people didnt have it done when I went in and they were not penalized
Thanks bro. Slightly freaking out here. Lol. I'm workin corporate now and I'm dying to get out so I don't really want any hiccups in the roads if I can help it. So it's not out of the ordinary that I didn't get my medical yet right being that list number 1XX. Should be soon I assume
The last time I went through this the medical groups were really small. Only a handful of people if I remember correctly
Lower
Maybe youll get your letter today. Cross your fingers

Thanks, I'm waiting for a few transcripts to come in. I did noticed on my detailed earning statement from social security it doesn't have 2016 year on it, I told the lady from the year I started to current. Is that acceptable to only have up to 2015? I haven't worked in almost six years due to a child.

I've takin a well over 12 training classes in my county as a firefighter/EMT do I put them as education? I have certificates from the state plus I have a list with all my hours of hours for each class. Just trying to figure out if my fire training counts as education.
Lol ok cool. Gotta stop by one day and see everyone at the academy. Just keep yourself tight and do what your asked and you'll be fine. Damn 90 push-ups that's a bad day people must have really screwed up
