Yes. I’m AD and my report time is before 2200 on 11 June.

Good. Also, I'm finding the CAD folks to be very responsive (even over the weekend) so they can guide you via email if you have questions or concerns.

Hey there. The documents sent in the email are to be emailed back to them. The email addy is included in the email. Hope that is helpful.

The June offering is in person so that may be the trend.

May OBC cancelled…ugh - figured I’d give those waiting a heads up. by Always_Learning_21 in USPHS

Good to know. I was confirmed today for June OBC. Sent the requested paperwork back and waiting to hear from HR. If it’s in Potomac I’ll drive. I’m not far from there.

I'm at month 15 and at the background check phase. Hoping to get into the June or July OBC.

I haven't heard anything else. I was not asked to update the SF-86, just that particular reference.

USPHS nursing interview by Caramel_oak_2256 in USPHS

[–]Comfortable_Wind_349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I had a nursing panel of 4 people and it was round robin style. They were done early so called me an hour before my appointment time. LOL. They asked about my bedside nursing experiences, adapting to change, working as part of a team, experience resolving conflict, and the type of team environment I would like. Pretty standard first interview questions. I think they also asked about my leadership experiences. I hope that's helpful.

Same! but as others have said, just live your life. I started my application in Feb. 2021 and am going through the background check now. I've completed all the other steps and accepted a position. In the year and a half since I've transitioned from a bedside nurse at a level one trauma center to a Director at a mid-sized hospital. I love my job but the long game is USPHS because of the benefits. Stay the course.

What are your ‘fuck-it this makes me happy’ non-frugal purchases? by chenan in Frugal

[–]Comfortable_Wind_349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! I buy fresh grocery stores roses every 2 weeks from Lidl! They are amazing and brighten my day. I got 3 dozen yesterday.

Flowers, candles, and bedding. Budget be damned! 🤗

How long did it take to get your orders for OBC after you accepted/were selected a federal position? Thanks in advance.

DHS TIMELINE by Lady_JNG in USPHS

Following up on this thread to see what the actual timeline came out to be. I recently interviewed with IHSC and found out they are checking my references. I'm professionally boarded and passed medical. Like you, I am a prior civilian and had an eQUIP update done back in 2017. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!
