I got offered Chicago today, I feel really selfish for crying because I know many of you were like me (just yesterday) dying for the call. I need some words of encouragement, having hard time leaving my family! This is going to change my life so much!

Thanks S.O.S.! I actually didn't feel great about the VBT. It was kind of awkward and strange talking to a TV, but I got through it alright. Also, I did have my SI afterward so that's a good sign, and I felt very good about that part. Just gotta wait for that green check nowOriginally posted by S.O.S. View Post
Good luck to you as well!

Thanks mole and s.o.s. I read the link regarding bi and poly...And I dont agree with past alcohol abuse being grounds for DQ because alcohol is made legal by the us government and it is known to be addicting. Illegal drugs i can understand but not alcohol.Last edited by Peoplepeople; 08-24-2012, 04:37 PM.Comment

Hey guys, I just received a letter from equifax today stating that "we furnished a copy of your credit file for employment purposes.". I was just wondering if anyone knows if this means that my BI has begun even though I haven't met with my investigator. Also, a co-worker of mine had a Poly a few days ago and he was told that they are expediting vets for an October class...grain of salt of course...

I recommend you to start slow. Do this and u will be doing less than 15 in no time. Start running your 1.5 miles as fast as you can to see where u standing. For the next week or two do 2 1/2 min running and walk 1 min. Do that for a least 2 miles or 25 min a day(at least 5 days a week) then increase your running time( 4 min)but for now your walking time stays in 1 min... Do that for 2 more weeks. After those 3-4 weeks do the 1.5 miles and check your time again. Remember you can do as many push ups and sit ups but at the end of the day the run is the one that counts. 98% that fail the pft2 is in the 1.5miles. And yes you will have to let the weights go for couple days so you get lighter..Originally posted by Peoplepeople View PostLast edited by Fer; 08-24-2012, 05:47 PM.Comment

i dont see why they would even say they are expediting vets for October. We still got to go through the whole process. I am a vet and am just waiting on my Poly to clear. It would be great though if true, but i doubt it.Originally posted by JPat83 View PostLast edited by mnewsom21; 08-24-2012, 05:58 PM.Comment

Hey, Congrats lang2! You have been waiting for this offer ever since 2010, so you deserve a cry and I don't even think that's enough to express the moment lol! I can feel you! Your family will understand, you have a bright future ahead of you now man! and I am sure leaving your family is hard, but this job can shape you into a totally different person which by the time you go back to your family they will be proud of you!!Originally posted by lang2 View Post
For many of us who have applied this position and dying waiting for the (LAST) green checks or the call to come, the waiting might be dreadful and sometimes even hopeless but lang2 has shown us that as long as we do not give up the job process, the job will not give up us! So keep your head up and!!
