I'm flying into Miami on December 15th. How about you? I also need to buy a car since I got rid of mine before I moved out to the west coast. I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

Med Problems...Still!

After going through all the troubles in completing my Med update that I posted about earlier, it continues! *sigh* I got a letter from MHC telling me that I had failed the hearing and would need to have the test repeated. They also needed further evaluations done on my foot, which I had broken five years ago while making an arrest AND a further evaluation on a back problem I had. The killer is that ALL of these issues were on my last med...without any problems. The "failed" hearing test was also conducted by the same provider they scheduled me with that had also messed up my vision test! Obviously all of these further evaluations are having to be done on my dime. My problem is getting them scheduled in order to meet the deadline they gave has become very difficult with the holidays! Right now I have a scheduling difficulty with an ortho that does backs/necks. The hearing and foot are taken care of, with little time left. I have to have everything postmarked by 12/7.

The irony of the neck/back evals came when I read the instructions to the doctor. Keep in mind that both issues were listed on all of my previous medical exams and weren't a problem then. The instructions to the doctor stated I was applying for a law enforcement position and had to be able to grip and fire a weapon. It also stated I had to be able to stand, run, climb, etc. OMG, did anyone read my application?! I've been an active LEO for the past 13 years! In 2005 I went back to the BP academy, resigning several weeks after mid term due to family issues back home. I' went back to my old PD upon returning home and have been a patrol officer since! WTF do they think I do on a daily basis?! I don't work for some small town Barney Fife, one officer town either. I work for the third largest department in the state in a city previously rated as having the 22nd highest crime rate for a city our size (also third largest in the state). We lose officers due the amount of work we do (they don't want to work that hard!), not how little we do. I know there's no issue with me passing the additional evals, it's just frustrating after waiting over three years now (I'm a 2008 tester). Especially for things that have been already passed.

Dunno if I can make the deadline for the med stuff or not. If not, I'm done. They stated my app will be tossed and I will get no further notice. In other words, game over! I'm gonna try to get an extension on the deadline, but I'm not holding my breath on having it granted. With my luck they've filled the slot at the port I had in for and now I'm SOL due to the lengthy delay in getting the med update completed. Keeping my fingers crossed! Rant over!

If you're having trouble scheduling your apps, simply call the medical unit and they'll extend your deadline... I can tell you that applicants aren't dropped that easily after missing a deadline or even an appointment on the steps. I never showed up for any of the steps for BPA and they kept scheduling me and calling me for following steps, even when I told them that I was already in FLETC for CBPO... Had to tell them to drop me 3 different times before the emails and calls stopped.

Got the call

Got the call for LAX yesterday. I missed it actually but voicemail mentioned start date would be December 19th. I called back and left a voicemail yesterday and emailed back also. Have not received a response. Should I be concerned at all? I figure I might not receive a response until Monday because of the holiday but don't want to get passed by either. Anyway been about 3 years exactly from test date to call. Any input would be appreciated.

For those currently in the academy: My academy date is in a couple weeks and I am trying to book a flight home for the Christmas weekend before flights get too expensive. Can someone who is currently in the academy please let me know since Christmas falls on a Sunday, do we get that Friday or Monday off?
Thanks!

I believe you'll get up to the new year off... Jan 2nd probably, but don't quote me on this. Someone from the new classes should chime in with the dates for you.

you don't need to see the announcement see the GS payscales

So I'm "referred to scheduling unit" on cass... I'm confused because all my steps were co mpleted except my qualifications and completed bi. None of the steps are even there anymore. What does this all mean?

You get Friday and Monday off. The 23rd and the 26th off. Good luck! One thing you should be concern about is getting back on time for training. They don't care if your flight delay or snow in at the airport. If you miss 24 hours of training (three days), you're packing home for good.
