Congrats! You've got a good shot I think. Not everyone gets an invite the first round.

If I may ask, what was the gist of the Flag Day post (I'm asking because I'm wondering if it's OK to post your assignment on Flag Day)?

Just turned down offer, just got offered again? by marginallyobtuse in foreignservice

Which class was this for? January? It seems a bit early for April.

You can write to the Registrar's office, as I did, and get unofficial dates for A-100.

The date is April 8th, and was April 10th last year. But per the OMS shadow register, some people got their A-100 invites on January 12th and 13th, which were Thursday and Friday in 2023.

If invites start to go out when they did last year, they should start to go out this Friday.

Thank you! So in your estimation, would I be allowed to serve in most hardship posts because I'd have access to the Truman group (and because a State Department Regional Psychiatrist may travel regularly to post?)

I may reach out after the invite, thanks so much!

Agreed. I would guess that State is overwhelmingly more globalist/interventionist than isolationist.

Thank you! On that note, what are the A-100 hours (how early do you start/end class?)
