Just received the following message via e-mail today:

You have completed all requirements for hiring and your file is ready to be sent to the Training and Scheduling Office.

One form is missing from your file. Please complete the attached PPA form and email or fax it back to the Hiring Center. This document replaces the FCIP.

Upon receipt of the document, your file will be sent to Training and Scheduling. They will contact you with an academy date.

If emailing, make the subject line "Attn TSU PPA form"
If faxing, write on the cover sheet "Attn TSU PPA form"

The way things are going, it looks like I should be placed in TSU soon and receive the call shortly after. Timing couldn't be much better, I got to enjoy my summer and I'll be down South for the winter (that is if things keep going as planned).

I got the same exact email 2 weeks ago. Within 2 hours of me faxing the signed document back to them I was called with a job offer.

Congratulations to both of you. Two weeks ago I was scheduled for a polygraph that I will be taking next week 8/3/2011.

Congrats! Just coming off active duty air force here, and anxious to get my file started again, it has been sitting in the security office for a month now!

Was your being active duty holding things up at all? I'm still active duty myself and I've been wondering if that might explain why the process seems delayed for me. When I was setting up my medical exam a few months ago the scheduling office noticed I was still active duty and tried to tell me to wait until I was completely discharged to go any further in the process. I said no way to that. Why would I want to wait until I was out of a job to start a year long hiring process? Hope things go well for you.

So...whats the process from TSU on?

I got the 60 day letter so as I understand it:

I get a phone call (hopefully)
PFT2 Date
Then EOD? EOD means what? Is that the day I show up to the academy or do I show up at my assigned station then go to the academy?

EOD means Entry On Duty. It's your first day of work. You'll report to the station you accept employment to for 3-5 days. They then ship you off to the academy after that.

What exactly do you mean by 60 day letter? Are you talking about the TSU letter? I don't recall receiving anything with concern to 60 days.

EOD means Entry On Duty. IRS your first day or work. You'll report to tge station you accept employment to for 3-5 days. They then ship you off to tge academy after that.

Makes sense. Thanks Bud.

Yeah the TSU letter. Ive heard it tossed around as the "60 day letter" but im no pro when it comes to this process. I could always just change it to "TSU". The you are waiting for a phone call use your time wisely letter.

You'll EOD (enter on duty) to your station. Then you'll do some paperwork at Sector. Then you'll go to the academy with a bunch of other new hires. It's about 3 or 4 days from when you EOD to when you get to the academy.

Congratulations on hitting TSU. I literally wasn't in TSU for 1 week when I got the call. What is your geo preference?

Just had my B.I. interview. It was rather fast, about 30 minutes. The B.I. kept saying "you're making this awfully easy on me, I like that". I don't know if its a good sign since most people claim their interviews lasted 3-4 hrs.
