FLETC cancellations

[Det_sje]

Just completed registration and confirmed for CITP in January 2021.

I got a spot with a DoD agency. They originally told me a March 2020 date but they were able to get it changed.

Here’s an interesting one -

does anyone see FLETC offering or in extreme cases mandating the “vaccine”?

Leaving for FLETC in January and they already told us in the welcome package to be prepared for 6 months stuck on campus.

[DM206]

Why is vaccine in quotes here?

I don't know about mandating it, but personally I'm hoping that by the time I get scheduled for FLETC the vaccine is at least widely available. I can deal with quarantine and restrictions if I have to of course but I'm looking forward to some kind of return to "normal."

[Ratatatat]

Vaccine shot or six months of going nowhere eating the same crap everyday and seeing no one other than your irritating classmates. Hmmm tough choice

[big_bob_69]

They’ve made it pretty clear that you’ll still have to wear masks and everything after the vaccine. I doubt much will change.

I've been "working from home" with two kids under 2 and my wife for 3/4 of a year. I'll happily go sit in a dorm room for six months twiddling my thumbs.

I was at FLETC back in March when they first sent people home. I will be glad to go back for any agency.

To those at FLETC now, what’s the room situation like for COVID? Are they still doubling up or do you get your own room?

[Jerseyboy94]

Own room , shared bathroom depending on what dorm you’re in.

[trooper2864]

Jerseyboy94 are they letting you guys leave on the weekends or is it everything is still shut down

[kb9977]

Students are not allowed to leave. Or have hard alcohol on campus. Zero word on when this may change.

Are classes still doing 6 days a week classes or it's back to 5 days a week? Is fletc still requiring classes to go on a 2 week quarantine before your academy starts?

i leave mid Jan. We were told it’s a 10 day quarantine and we will be on a 5x a week training schedule.

[famousdaveKC]

I hear there has been a pause in training until March. Anyone know the details?

[Costanza]

Just got the call that my class in Feb was canceled. No timeframe for a reschedule

[famousdaveKC]

What program were you scheduled to attend?

[Costanza]

BIETP in February

[CCCSD]

I think it’s: FLETCUP-1567: Defense of Capitol Structures. I hear it’s being rewritten.

[hawaiitexas]

They have postponed all incoming classes, will use graduation to get the numbers down to around 1200 in an attempt to keep things open.

[Jagger3939]

I wonder if they really postponed all of them? If they are planning on still keeping 1200 on, there wouldn't be a reason to cancel "all"

[StickerShock]

This sounds like the same approach they used when trying to keep it open/reopen last year. When FLETC is going full tilt there’s like 3k people there so it will take a little while to get back to 1200.

[Calitown]

hawaiitexas Is this what you heard.

[Moose225]

Anyone have anything else confirmed about how far this is going to push start dates? Ive got an April start date supposedly, Im hoping this doesnt equate to a 2 month delay for me.

got my email. “Unfortunately FLETC has delayed your training till March”

was supposed to travel Thursday.

[Donjuan85657]

What agency are you with?

[Moose225]

Outstanding lol... I figure there will be no shot Im actually there on my supposed start date then lmao

[Sanchesus]

March CITP class canceled. No word on reschedule.

EDIT: Apparently, if you recieve the COVID-19 shot, you get placed on the top of the list...

[Winter_Patriot]

If anyone has been waiting for in-person IPPT classes, there are openings in June and July.

source? Because agencies can’t make anyone get the vaccine.

[Sanchesus]

DoD email... It's not required to get it, but they are prioritizing those who do apparently.

[oef_vet]

I'm at fletc right now. Like 3/4 of the instructors are quarantined right now.

[Checkmate]

I'd love to know what the chow hall is like these days. Pre-COVID it was a nightmare trying to beat TSA to lunch every day. I can't imagine how messed up it is with whatever safety protocols are in place.

[Calitown]

Checkmate Thats hilarious bro...It's either them or BOP I assume right? I don't think TSA is even out here at the moment, its really a battle against the CBPO/UTPT guys to the chow line at the moment.

[kb9977]

Now it is CBP clogging up the hall haha
