FLETC cancellations

[CCCSD]

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

They can’t make you, but if you have it, it makes perfect sense to bump.

[Calitown]

Exactly. I personally wouldn't take that vaccine until they hash out the kinks, but if its that or getting through FLETC so I can start working, ****....

Haven't seen this posted yet. Latest word from my agency (been waiting for CITP since Sept 2020 EOD) is that FLETC is going to rebuild the entire schedule for FY21 classes that were previously due to begin between Feb-Sep 2021. The plan is to establish a new schedule that prioritizes basic courses and limits students on campus to below a certain number at any given time. Hopefully the new FY21 schedule will be sent out to agencies in the next couple of weeks.

[Det_sje]

I'm down here now and you are correct CITP classes resume March 2021.

[PostalWannabe]

I got a postponement email saying FLETC was stopping training to restructure. But within two weeks I got another email with a report date in early March. I don't know if the full schedule has been sent out or not.

From looking at the old schedule, the only thing they changed for me was continuing the 14 day quarantine. So hopefully folks waiting on a CITP class won't actually be delayed much if at all.

Is the March reschedule date still happening as of now?

[alc31180]

Just got moved to 2/19, from 1/15

[Tjwright95]

I haven't gotten any word of my 29JAN21 UPTP class being canceled at FLETC Artesia.

I have heard Glynco UPTP canceled their classes though.

[Jagger3939]

The latest rumor was that new classes up until March were being pushed. Has anyone heard of FLETC canceling/pushing classes after/later than March? Those that have received class dates — any word from your agencies?

[Moose225]

Curious as well... I was unofficially slotted for 4/27 start date, trying to see if/how that will be impacted.

[Buck_Macdonald]

I don’t know where he heard it but second or third hand from a classmate that Glynco was going to close down Q3 -Q4 of this year and that they were exploring a secondary site to train people who did not get the vaccine while they restructure the main glynco site for both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.

[Jagger3939]

I haven't heard anything about them exploring a secondary site, but I did hear from a friend on center today that they aren't taking new classes until the end of FY21 (October). Yet, people appear to still being given reschedule dates for Feb/Mar/April... so not sure if agencies just haven't been caught up to speed yet, or if there's some exceptions, or miscommunication?

[Costanza]

Just got the email for my rescheduled date of 3/30/2021.

[BS]

Going where?

[Moose225]

What was your original date?

[Costanza]

Original date was 2/16 in Glynco. Still Glynco, just 3/30 for BIETP

[Calitown]

Costanza Congrats on getting your date. You guys are back on the 78 day training schedule.

[Jagger3939]

I’m hearing from several friends currently on center at Glynco that last week FLETC decided they’re postponing all new classes until FY22 (Oct of this year) with the exception of a handful of special case classes. Anyone else hearing this?

[1811HopefulDC]

That was the last guidance that we got @Donjuan.

[Donjuan85657]

Roger that 1811HopefulDC. Thank you!

[Vcrowley97]

I just got scheduled for UPTP class to begin in April so I'm not sure about that unless UPTP is a special case class?

[Jagger3939]

I heard this week that FLETC reversed the decision and are allowing new classes starting in April — so that aligns with the new info I’ve heard.

[Sanchesus]

New CITP training dates are April 20th reporting the 10th for quarantine and June 2nd with a May 24th reporting date. This is from a DoD agency. That's all I can give you. Keep your heads up and fingers crossed...

[hexen220]

they told me my UPTP class will be sometime in april

[Stay Frosty]

Question: For FLETC, do they give you the COVID-19 swab test or do they test you at all ?

[big_bob_69]

I hear they're switching to the more accurate "butt swab test".

[hawaiitexas]

Question: For FLETC, do they give you the COVID-19 swab test or do they test you at all ?

They give you the test twice during the restriction of movement period, you just rub a Q-tip in the inside of your mouth

[Stay Frosty]

Sounds good. Is it the same Q-tip used for the COVID tests ?

[PostalWannabe]

My understanding is that most of the cancellations are the non-basic academies. I believe basic academies (e.g. CITP) are continuing after a short postponement to adjust schedules (mainly adding quarantine period).

I don't have any insider knowledge, but my March CITP class is still on as far as I know and the schedule I got shows other classes continuing through the year.

I don't think FLETC can shut down primary academies for very long. Just too many people need to get processed. Advanced firearms and stuff can wait a bit, but not primary academy.

Just my 2 cents.

[DM206]

Any word on how full the upcoming CITP classes are? Any chance of getting a spot before fall if you're not already scheduled?

[Jagger3939]

Agencies are allocated seats for specific classes. It’s going to be fully depending on if your agency has classes, and if they’ve assigned those seats to new hires. Each agency does it differently.
