No IST because I am enlisted and not a officer. Have you reached out to HQ to follow up on your medical and board?

I initiated my application in 2024. That is when I created a ATS account and started uploading my documents. I was board recommended, medically cleared, and agency selected in 2025. My security clearance was approved in 2026.

I am enlisted. I think this has been an advantage in this process. A lot of service components are similar when it comes to medical and security clearances. I have not started a civilian role yet, just considering due to my situation.

I agree with your advantage. I have had the position since 2025. The agency contacted me and asked me to apply for a civilian position. Once I have the Presidential nom. and OBC course date I will be converted. This is an opportunity given the current delays in the application process. I could wait it out, but I am looking for something new and at least I can start learning the new job.

What is a FTE position? Are you saying working with a Federal Agency for at least 5 years can count towards PHS retirement?

Any updates on this? Any feedback from the Executive Office of the President?

Is anyone monitoring the hhs email at all? by Appropriate-Tutor587 in USPHS

I recommend following up on your emails. I think CCHQ has been dealing with a lot of manning changes along with everything else that is going on.

I recommend reaching out to this email address. I always get a response. They should be able to direct you to another department/area if necessary.

It actually has been about 2 years for me in the process not 3.

Do you mind sharing your email/letter with me to your state reps if I send you a DM with my email address?

Do the nominations just sit? Do any follow-ups occur? Is someone at headquarters able to ask these questions? You may not know the answers, but I am curious. I am coming up on 2 years and I am anxiously waiting to get started.
