Thanks bigj8550

Do they give you a class on how to prepare for the interview? So right at a year from app. start to recruit school start.

[bigj8550]

The class they had for the 68th was more of an overview of the whole process. It did not give any hugh secrets. On the interview the best advice I can give is be calm and confident.

Friday, December 28, 2007 68th Recruit School

UMM!! Not to step on your toes Bigj, but I think there's a typo in here. The recruit school begins July 14 and graduates December 28, 2007. I think that's right anyway. The way I read Navy80's post it seems like he's under the assumption that you don't start the academy until approximately a year after you apply. Again, no disrespect just wanted to clarify.

[bigj8550]

That is strait copy and paste from my time line I recived from ISP while I was in process. December 28th is graduation day july 15 is start of academy.

[forensiccop]

OK. The way it reads it leaves out the actual start date for the academy and just says the graduation date. I just thought that the way Navy's post read it may have been construed that the start date for the academy was 12/28.

[navy80]

yeah i was under the impression that it started dec. Thanks..so its about a 6 month process then, do you know when 69th begins

[MONTI039]

I was told the written test for 69th would be around July.

[bigj8550]

Ya that is deceving. I just looked at it again and that is the way it is written. Since I know that academy starts july 15 I just took it forgranted.

[10-Roger]

Written test for 69th process will be in January of 2008. Hoping to have a class for 60ish people.

[bigj8550]

Ummm you sure about that date? January of 2007 that was when they had the test for the 68th.

Found this to be an interesting article.

Interesting article, however, where did you get your information about the '08 testing?

A pretty decent source. Look for some small subtle changes in the early stages of the process.
