Well, I just accepted an offer in San Luis, AZ, my hometown...if I pass the drug screening (i should) from yesterday and pft2. EOD Sept 1, Academy Sept 30 - Feb 12.

Congratulations. What was your waiting time after sit down with the BI? It's been almost 3 weeks since my BI submitted the report to HQ.

What do they do at the medical exam? Just curious what I can expect and how long it usually takes. Thanks.

Took my drug test today. Logged in to CASS after midnight, everything is GONE! "Referred to Schedule EOD/You have been referred to the scheduling unit." is what it says now...

Congrats! How long it took your case to be adjudicated?

Why can't I see your timeline ?

UM..... You can't see my signature?

Q: What does the medical exam consist of?
A: In advance of your scheduled exam, you will be asked to complete a detailed medical history form. The medical exam itself includes a medical history, EKG, vision test, hearing test and physical examination.

After reading the horror stories about delayed med evaluations, man am I glad my EKG result was cleared after only a month or so.

Anyone get that CASS email yet following their TSL from the May 2014 applicatants?

Nothing here either. Seems like there's about 4-6 weeks between every notification...very long process and we only just started. Props to those who have been going through all this for a while now. I don't know how you do it.

Best of luck to you Mark!!

Where in CV? Is it the same place you took your PFT1? Indoors or out? PFT1 is my next step so it would be nice to have an idea of what the terrain is like if possible (if 1.5 mile run has been implemented).

Thanks!

What surprised me is that medical review functions as a 3-step process. The first step is someone sends you an email to let you know that MHC received your documentation. Then, step 2, said documentation must be forwarded to be screened to make sure the information is sufficient (which current turn time is 6-8 weeks). Then, step 3, once your documentation is deemed to be "sufficient", it is then forwarded to a medical officer for review which takes another 6-8 weeks.

This process seems highly redundant and inefficient. Step 2 (pre-screening) is an utter waste of resources and time. The initial individual who emails applicants that "MHC has received your medical review information) should be the one who "pre-screens" the documentation thus weeding out the need for step 2 and 6-8 weeks of additional waiting time.

So I emailed them yesterday and asked what the process and time frame was once documents were submitted. They responded today and said my documents were sent to review and should be between 6-8. So sounds like maybe only the one 6-8 week step hopefully.

Kris,

What the other person posted is not always true. I can speak from personal experience. I was told I passed after leaving the poly. 3 weeks later I was told I would have to come in for another poly. When I got in there my examiner told me I was nearly done just a few things to clear up. After 5 hours I left still not knowing if I passed or failed and was told I might have to come in again. So don't assume from what others may say or post. This is coming from personal experience. Good luck to you.

Kris,

What others may say may come from personal experiences as well. So, what you were told yesterday is a good sign. Best of luck, boricua!
