Anyone know if you can get put on a roster without having passed the PFT yet? I’m hoping to get December and my PFT is in a week.

Does anyone have good intel about how the FO ranking process works at the Academy? Are you asked to rank 1-56, top 10, or regions only?

Does anyone have an idea how long adjudication takes? I’m in a weird position, I was getting frequent updates from the investigators now to complete silence two weeks ago, only one reference was contacted but I have not been cleared for medical because a missing vaccine. Does anyone know if you can still get cleared for BI pending medical or they all connected as one?

I am wondering if only getting the first dose of the Hep A vaccine (one must wait 6 months for the second dose) will prevent someone from being cleared for their medical, and if the entire background portion will be delayed because of this.

That is unfortunate, I would have hoped that you starting the series would have been enough for them to clear you, with the condition that you get the second dose in 6 months time. I did not know that they instead put the entire process on hold until those 6 months pass.

I also had to get two doses of Hep A. Got the first one back in May && was told not to worry about the second one/that the first dose was good enough to get me through medical. (Although, I’ll be getting the second dose this November, obviously with enough time before potentially leaving. So I’m not sure if I was told it would be okay and that I would be cleared (because I’d get the second dose before academy) or because it was okay to just have the first dose. Hopefully that helps? 😬

Does anyone know if you can still get cleared for BI pending medical or they all connected as one? I was also getting frequent updates from investigators in the first three weeks after my poly. Now Its been complete radio silence for over 2 months. I cleared medical sometime in early September, not sure if it had any bearing on the status of my BI.

Hopefully that helps? 😬 Yes, thank you! Maybe they clear people for the medical as long as they think you can get the second dose before the academy.

Are you getting an email saying you cleared medical or is this all because you reached out to the AC and asked if you cleared medical? Wondering if there is a formal notice or not. I had to submit supplemental medical documentation so I had been communicating with the medical administrator for a few weeks. After I submitted the last needed document I asked if anything else was needed. A couple days later she responded and said no you are now medically cleared. Not sure if they would have told me or not had I not asked. Edited by user Tuesday, October 26, 2021 2:45:28 PM(UTC)

It was not until I had reached out to my AC to ask the status of medical and my BI that it was shared I had passed medical a month before contacting her.

Question for you guys...
I just had my Meet & Greet last week but the status on my SA portal still shows as Scheduled-Meet & Greet. Is this normal or did I not make the cut?
Thanks..

The applicant portal is updated by the Applicant Coordinator when they get a chance. If you have a small FO (person wears multiple hats) or busy FO, the portal may not get updated regularly. Assuming you did well in the meet and greet, my guess is that they are just taking their time. especially since it has only been a week. My portal would go un-updated for at least a month at a time.

Has anyone had to take the PFT on an indoor 200-meter track? Did you find it easier or harder to run the 300m?

Has anyone applied with a finance/accounting background? Looking for any advice or tips when it comes to what they like to see in an applicants resume/experiences. Thanks.
