As of today my process is on hold due to being injured several months ago. Per the recruiter he is able to delay the medical phase until I'm healed... I'm not sure how long a delay is allowable but I hope as long as all my other stuff is still valid I'll be good to go.

Also, as far as the multiple Eqips go, I don't know the reason for that. I called HQ and the lady apologized and just asked me to do it again. The info was saved so it didn't take too long to redo.

Good luck to everyone in the process.

That whole eqip thing has happened to multiple other people, where they are required to fill it out again. Considering it seems to be a routine thing, Im skeptical of it being accidental.

[Montey]

Deleted....

[Police1234]

What is that?

[JakeVE]

Do you mean a MAC?

[Montey]

JakeVE yeah, that is what I meant to say

[HSIApplicant]

Poly and PT next week. Huge week because to my knowledge Poly is only thing I haven't done.

[RoeUrboat]

PT refresher?

[SDPA4]

Did anyone do the written test and interview on the same day and not be told the written results on the spot? I did my written/interview last week. I was advised I passed the interview but didn't hear anything on the written test. Does anyone know how long it takes for it to be graded?

[jorgemal1030]

SDPA4 If you had your written and interview the same day, they will tell you the results of each event on the spot. If for whatever reason you did not pass any portion of the written test, you will not be allowed to move on to the interview face. In other words, if you had your interview that day, that means you passed the written portion.
Hope that helps

[SDPA4]

How long did it take for your COL? Coming up on 2 weeks and still haven't heard anything yet.

[jorgemal1030]

SDPA4 for me, I did my written and interview and I was fingerprinted on 2/23/2021. On 2/25/2021 I had my COL in my email. From what I have read in here, times vary depending on the regional office.

[Boozer1357]

Passed PT recert today and have psych interview scheduled for next week which is the last step of the process for me. Hoping that my packet goes before the hiring panel soon and get the final offer. Has anyone heard when the may class would start and when the next class would be after may?

[Police1234]

Got the call, March class! Anyone else in it? If so shoot me a private message.

[RoeUrboat]

Congrats! Since we're already in March, assuming they're doing a late March then?

[Police1234]

Yes Late March.

[beattheodds7051]

Congrats and good luck at the academy

[Lsane07]

Congratulations!!! What location will you be assigned to after completing the academy?

[jorgemal1030]

Well I had my written and interview and it all went well. I got a PASS on both events. A couple of days later I got the COL, I filled out the forms and sent them back. My question is, do they send an acknowledgement of the forms received or are you left on the dark to wonder what's going on? Then the equip comes? Or how does it go? Sorry if I seem to be bombarding you guys with so many questions. Thank you

[Levithane]

So when I sent the forms they sent an acknowledgment, this was about 6-7 months ago. Now typically you get an eqip, 1-3 months later if you have no drug experimentation from your youth. If you have used drugs in your past it a drug panel is going to review your paperwork. Now when that panel gets together and makes decisions I have no idea.

[SDPA4]

Did the acknowledgment email come right away or did that take a while too?

[NJLOCAL]

I received my COL in November, completed the returning docs in 24hrs and I was fingerprinted in February, yet I am still waiting to receive the equip. I spoke to my recruiter and she stated that it is handled by OPM. Anyone have a follow-up # or poc at opm to get a status check. Thanks in advance

[Capital Ranger]

I received COL in November and I’m waiting on EQIP as well.

[Lsane07]

NJLOCAL check your PM

[Levithane]

Got scheduled for the written psych. Haven't gotten an eqip, as of current.

[jkufen]

Anyone hear if there are May classes? I'm assuming if I haven't been called by now late March classes are out the question.

[AJ_81]

May 23rd is the next class date so far, then another in Aug, and Sept. Just had background FINALLY completed, just waiting on adjudication and hopefully I will be in the May class fellas..

[Boozer1357]

I’m in the same boat as well, hoping for a may class as I just finished my psych interview yesterday, which was the last step for me. Do you know if drug test is a separate event or is it done with medical? I’ve asked my recruiter since that’s the only other thing I haven’t done but never got an answer.

[jkufen]

May 23rd is the next class date so far, then another in Aug, and Sept. Just had background FINALLY completed, just waiting on adjudication and hopefully I will be in the May class fellas..

when did you start the process and when did background start? I have been in background 8 months and they say they are close to finishing up but it’s been 60 days since. I was hoping for March class but looks more like the next class maybe

[AJ_81]

I did the Houston MAC Nov 2019, started equip in Jan, then again in about June for some reason.
Nov 2019 Houston MAC
Nov 2019 COL
Jan 2020 Equip
Jun 2020 Equip (again)
July 2020 Poly
Sept 2020 Psych Eval
Oct 2020 Psych Review with Doc
Nov 2020 Medical
Dec 2020 updated PT test
Mar 2021 Background complete, waiting on adjudication.

I have lived overseas with military, so this could be why my background took a long time just for reference.

[HSIApplicant]

Passed PT recert, waiting on poly results- what a journey.

[greatness33]

The Poly results were random for me, I had to contact my recruiter after a couple months to find out, I had passed.

[Alright2015]

HSIApplicant when did you take polygraph?

[ZH97]

Had my poly a couple weeks ago and got an email from my recruiter a week later saying I had "cleared" it (not sure if that is the same thing as passed or that I just don't need to retake it) and that my psych written will be this week. I was surprised at the turnaround time for the poly but I guess I'm just lucky.
