BSN317: i just got my bonus. 1/3 was gone due to tax!!! I'm scheduled "tentatively" to go to OBC in Feb. I can't wait!

yes I applied for the bonus. I heard they don't give you the money until you come back from Glynco. So I'm gonna follow up on that soon. How about you?

I just came back from Glynco BOP training. What an experience... I hope everyone's doing well with their PHS jobs.

i bought the blue coverall. it's comfortable and easy to get around with. i love it. I didn't buy the summer whites cuz I can't get along with white colors. haha. my institution doesn't have a strict policy on uniforms. so i guess i'm good with the c...

Thank you everyone for your support!! :heartbeat BSN317: I had 2 background checks, the background clearance for the PHS only took me 1 week, however, the BOP clearance took about 2 months. they interviewed so many people (my friends, my neighbors, e...

yes you are right. it is definitely worth the waiting. however, i must start working in the meantime because i have student loans to pay off... I told the HR 1662 is the Call to Active Duty form. She then emailed me back "The information has already ...

The HR person at BOP said she didn't know what is 1662. She said the Central Office takes care of those things, she just submitted my documents to them... So I asked her please please follow up on the central office. hopefully it gets done quickly......

I called a CAM, she said I have all the requirements in, they are just waiting for my 1662 then they will "speed up the process"... BOP said they want me start in Sept, so i don't know if i can make it...
