| Posted 10 months ago Like UncleDennis says, RELAX and wait for the call. If you become a nuisance to them they will never call you. You must work to their schedule, and not them to your schedule....

| Posted 10 months ago You do not say how long you have been processing or when you started processing with RSO. The whole process is a "HURRY UP AND WAIT" proposition. You get tasked with all things required from one phase to the next with a whole lot of wait time in between. This can go on for a year or so before you ultimately get the call. |

| Posted 10 months ago Thanks for all the advice this forum helped a lot. I applied in April 2012 the only reason why I had a concern is because there is an academy August 6th at Ben Clark training center.. Not to far away but I'm sure there will be another academy |

You're only 3 months into a process that can sometimes take as long as a year (or more in some cases). Unless they put you on some sort of a fast track........ count on approximately 6 to 8 more months on the short side. Until then....... HURRY UP and WAIT...... and REPEAT. |

| Posted 10 months ago Now is a bad time in California, Many agencies are down sizing or on a hiring freeze. I work at a state prison up north and they just took half the staff off my yard! |
