Did you get a brake for the holidays?

Yes. Took leave the day before and after Thanksgiving and went home Christmas Eve and came back the Sunday morning after.

Just as an FYI, if you're going to be in JFK/NYC/NJ area, buy your tickets back home (if they fall on a holiday) EARLY. Savannah prices are generally cheaper than Jacksonville, but it's a shorter drive to Jacksonville. Roundtrip to JFK on any given weekend is $120 if you get it early.

Fingers crossed that my BI is sent for adjudication in by next week.

You'll meet your port director, and other management staff, and swear in on day one.

The rest is computer training, getting access to various systems, and shadowing officers out on the floor/field; watching them and learning how to do your new job.

Did you get a hint or notification that your file might be adjudicated next week, or just hoping? My timeline is very similar to yours, I took the polygraph on 10/7/14 and met with my BI in November, and he also spoke with my references, family, etc. I think he sent my background information in around early December. I'm so anxious waiting to hear something, but I guess it's just a waiting game at this point. I was hoping someone might be able to tell me about how long before I will hear back about my file being adjudicated.
Thanks.

Ugh just got notification that they need further information from my medical exam.

Thanks apparently it's visual acuity and depth perception. It didn't say I failed it just that they need more information. I called my eye doctors today but couldn't get through I'll stop in Saturday and or keep calling tomorrow
