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

That's interesting that they are catching this now after your medical was already cleared. Is that common?

Yea I drove and paid for parking because most parking around is metered at a 2 hour maximum. Paid $8 for parking lot a few blocks away.

As a rule of thumb I'd say that is largely true. Different ports do different things but for the most part, I'd say expect a 0800-1600 shift or something similar.

Do they pay for the flight out for FLETC if traveling from far away?

[Mike924]

Hey all:

Was a lurker on here since the beginning of December.

Noticed some people (myself included) were wondering if anyone was getting selected for 14-2 Florida/Caribbean.

Got my email today!

So there is hope out there for anyone trying to get into Florida, they are in fact hiring.

Oh yay ok. Yes im going tomorrow to have my doctor fill out the paper work. I had all the tests done in October. Or should I retest tomorrow ? I wish I knew what the requirements were so that if I failed it in oct I could do it again and try better tomorrow.
