Hey Congratulations NY! Having a baby can definitely add some critical stress but also maybe make you more determined to secure that dream LE job for the babies future. That's a heavy choice you have to make. Hopefully fate has the right career for you.

I just found out I am going to be a dad and as much as I want this position, I can't afford to put my family's life on hold for a position that has so many unknowns. I went into this app process fully aware that it could take in excess of 24 months however, having a baby completely changes the dynamics of my career planning.
Or it could be another 1-2 years from today when you get the call and your baby is walking already, who knows?
On another note, to everybody else. Rumor has it CASS only updates on Tuesdays and Thursdays? Anybody have verification on that? lol regardless, i'm sure we're all checking everyday anyway but maybe on those days you'll have extra incentive to check several times.

The suspense is really getting to me.
I had a dream last night that I checked cass and it said I was put in the scheduling office waiting for EOD. Then I woke up terribly bummed. -.-
Future, you have had a friend who got a call last month I believe, could you remember how long she waited between submitting her BI and getting the call?

Maybe after all the wait, we all get to celebrate our passing all these steps and joining the academy

Originally posted by USCG LEME View PostThe sit down we all did at the start of the BI, or did you guys do that at the end too? Cause I only met my guy once and never again after that. I wonder how long they waited after their packets were submitted to DC...
I guess we'll see what happens to us.

Yaaay! Finally got my e-qip/Background e-mail. It's like I'm a real applicant now! :P Only problem is I can't get the big attachment to load... And I do have all the latest Adobe stuff installed on my computer already...
Question for you guys who already did this step: Do you have to send back your fingerprint cards at the same time as you send back the rest of the info? I'm a little nervous about being able to get that done in the time allotted--my local PD is a bit slow.Civitas Ad Mare

Alex.... I sent my print cards about a week later. Shouldn't take too long if you just go to the lobby with the print cards they mail you and ask them to help out. The PD lobby I mean.Last edited by USCG LEME; 06-17-2014, 06:45 PM.Geo: West Coast

Jade...I did the math yesterday and my BI met me on May 22nd. 19 days later he told me that me background packet was complete and had been forwarded to DC. So it looks like the 18 days alloted is spot on.Geo: West Coast

Thanks USCG LEME!
I'm a little nervous--I can't get the first attachment in the e-mail to load.
Are the forms that I need to fill out on the E-Qip website or are they in that attachment? I am able to see the second one where it's the "instructions."
I'm freaking out a little now because they gave me a deadline of 6/27 and I definitely do not want to forget anything and/or miss it.Civitas Ad Mare
