Let's go 12/5.   Scsd125 was supposed to go with me on 12/5 and his recruiter mixed him up with 10/31.  He's sitting in VA.  Lucky #@&*)$.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we're next.  Keep on the PT.       Be safe.            Richard

Well Texascop, I am almost afraid to say that I am going to be in the 12/05 class.  I have said that for the last (4) classes and I am still not there.  I am workng out and praying that my 85 comes back in time for the 12/05 class.

     Good luck to those who made it to the 10/31 class, and lets just say the next class should be fantastic !!!! whoo hoo I should be in Astan around christmas....freezing my Florida arse off !!

     Ya'll take care and keep working out

Ok Boys,

I'm here.  Yeah, I've been really busy here lately, haven't trained at all for a week or so.  Had a death in my girlfriends family so we've been dealing with that.  Funeral today, so the training will continue tomorrow.  Just went out and picked up a "Flip UltraHD video camera."  You can take up to 2 hrs of HD video AND make still shots from the footage.  It will be my camera/video recorder.  I'm almost done buying stuff.  The last thing I need is a small duffel bag to distribute the weight of my "stuff."  I don't think I can get all of my mess into my carry-on backpack.  Not really taking much with me to Va., but I think I'll need that little extra room.

Hey...have ya'll heard of the 5.11 knee pad inserts?  I just got a pair for $10.  They fit inside the knee pockets inside the pants.  I've owned 5.11's for years and never knew there were insert pockets.  Anyhoo, should help a bit on the range, plus they're super lightweight.

C'mon 12/5!!!!!!

Dang ya'll....we're NEXT!  This gonna' be GREAT!

Stay safe,

Bill

Hey All! jerry p just checking in from GA. Well here's to an AWESOME HARVEST where none of us are allowed to wither on the vine! To all you lucky SOB's in VA. Kick butt and take names and leave no one behind! As far as the forecast in VA for 5 December; I recall some very crisp mornings (frost and even ice) when I was up that way in the 70's for sniper training at Quantico & Ft. Meade Md. It was pretty cool on the range until about lunchtime ... then we took off the first layer if the sun was out and not raining. Keep the faith and keep praying for all the troops in the sandbox! hope to be there with you all in just over a month! Until then ... AIRBORNE!!!

So, am I understanding this correctly:  I did the "apply now" link on police mission site and it will be a couple months before I'm contacted?? If so, gives me time to get a new "raised seal" birth certif. and get to work on getting my passport. 

Also posted my resume for O level Ordnanceman with their F/A-18 program in Kuwait.

Damn Rich. Well maby they know you and I are neighbors and train together so they are gonna put you in my March class. I know you wanted to be there for the 10/31. I had to call myself on 10/20 to have them tell me that my sf85 came back on the 9th of October. You'd think I would have got an e-mail or something. I think that they are in over their heads on getting peolpe qualified. It will work out my Brother!  Just more track time for us.

I'm here...you here Bill? (silence and crickets...............)

Hello all. Just reading posts from navygator and gunnerside and had something similar happen to me. I have been in the process since August. I have had everything complete since 08/25. I tried calling my recruiter because I had not heard from him in a little while. The phone number extention said was not valid so I shot him an email. Got that kicked back saying email not valid. So i just figured the guy quit or they fired him what ever, called the girl that was helping me with EQUIP and she hooked me up. A "new" recruiter called me said he "found" my file and started asking for all my paperwork. Advised him that it had all been turned in weeks ago. He hesitated for a few minutes and said "oh yeas I found it here". Kinda freaked me out for a second. He said we were right on track. 2 WEEKS go by and I get an email, from my OLD recruiter, that says if he did not hear from me by Monday Dyncorp was going to close my employee process!! WTH?!! I called this guy like 100 times THAT day and he finally answered his phone.

I have been doing everything by the book and turning in my paperwork as asked. I think that Dyncorp is so spread out and they do not communicate with the other departments. So now I got the email about 12/5 PAST. I am going to call AND email my recruiter at least once a week until 12/5 class!....just to be sure.

It's funny wondering how people you have never met are doing throughout the day down in old Virginia ain't it! I'm wondering how that PT test and psych is going for all.....hopefully we'll all hear something soon. Anybody have any idea how many people are in the current class?

You can use your HOR anytime you want, its up to you...

After reading these last posts I am even more grateful for my recruiter she has been on the ball with everything even called me last week to make sure I was prepared to leave for the 12-5 class and to let me know that if my SF didnt return in time I would be in the 1-10 class. Glad to know our brothers and sisters in Virginia are doing well look forward to hearing their updates as they go. Chris J

I hope that everybody in Va. is doing well and best of luck to you. I'm glad to see that you are giving us good updates...keep them coming.

I never got contacted on Friday about going or not going. Have not received an e-mail officially moving me to 12-5. Last I heard was thursday that my sf85 was not back, 90 days now I think. I was told that they have no contacts at DOS and are actually not allowed to contact them. sure would be nice to know something. Brandon if your in the top twenty I must be in the top 5-10 % for longest.

Had to unpack uniforms and gear again to prepare for another month at work. At least I'll get my longevity check now!!

Sounds like that even if you're recruiter says everything is good to go, Call him or her Daily!

Okay, I have to vent for a bit, t hen I 'll be back to my normal self.

I was all set to o to the 10/31 class, busted my butt to get things in and taken care of, had taken leave from work, and prepped all of my gear for turn in. Left an LOR with my LT to turn in for me if all went as planned. I got a pone call from my recruiter late Monday afternoon telling me that there was a problem with my medical, and that they needed my DR's phone number to call him. 

Since then, nothing. They haven't called my DR, haven't called me. I have gotten nothing but voicemail from everyone, including my recruiter. She did answer one time, and suggested that "if things don't work out, try PMC.com. My entire life was on pause for these folks, and I get no calls, no explanation, nothing. If they decided to pull me from the roster for the 10/31 class, a phone call, e-mail, h&ll, even a smoke signal would have been appropriate. Up until now, I have had the utmost faith in Dyncorp in general, and my recruiter in particular. But that little bit of drama was uncalled for, nd completely unprofessional. 

 

I am hanging, don't know if I am out of the process all together, or just pushed back to another class. Three weeks ago, they called me and offered to fly me to Dallas to have my medical done by their DR's if it would get me into the 10/10 class. Now no one will answer my phone calls. 

With all that being said, I still want to go, and to go with this company. I believe in the mission, and I have friends already over there. I am just shocked that I was left in the dark like that. 

I hope it gets etter. This is my first butt burner from them, and I know that it has happened to alot of yu guys already. Did they just leave you hanging, or did they tell yu beforehand that you were being pushed back?

Keeping the Faith (but cussing)

Hey Bro...look, hang in there.  I was one of those that "fell thru a fricken' crack"...didn't hear anything til this guy calls me a week b4 10/10 and says..."are ya' ready to go???"  My recruiter hauls ass, doesn't return emails, etc...  now I do understand why, he got hisself de-ployed...ok, I get it, no problems.  But yer right, there is a lack of communication.  But I have to believe that they're working their collective butts off trying to fill gubmint contracts.  They are working 7 days a week and are being hog-tied by the DoS...soooo...yes, plan B is a good thing.  If I get tapped, Triple Canopy will get a call or I'll hang out with Leroy....

So...the moral of this story is this, you've come so far so hang in there!  I'll save you a GOOD spot in the tent buddy!

No spooning allowed though...
