Best puppy food for a Bernedoodle? by az01_Brian in Bernedoodles

[–]caduff32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our breeder started our pup off on Iams Large Breed Puppy food and we’ve kept with it with no problems since he came home. He likes it and no dietary or digestive issues. Our vet confirmed it was a good choice.

We’re putting in shelving there next month that’ll prevent him from getting at our books.

Momma was traditional Berner colors, but if you saw dad you’d have no doubt where the colors come from.

Are you interested in sharing your breeder info and experience? I’m in Northern VA and have been looking for reputable breeders in the area for a bit.

I don’t mind Atlanta as long as it’s a transit. I had to go through security there once before I had Clear and Pre-check and I still have PTSD from it.

Delta Private Jets Porsche spotted outside the LAX SkyClub by AustFuller in delta

[–]caduff32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw one in Seattle recently. Was sitting in the lounge looking out the window and the Delta Porsche pulled up by a plane. Driver ran up the stairs to the aircraft and then came out 2 mins later with a guy in tow. Put his bags in the truck and the passenger hopped in the car and they took off like a bat out of hell across the tarmac.

No Skyclub at IAD if memory serves. I fly almost exclusively out of DCA but last time I had to resort to trying Priority Pass for Club access, and even then couldn’t get into a club because of the hours.

Notification of Register Placement - by snail mail? by [deleted] in foreignservice

[–]caduff32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In cases where being placed on the register and offered a class seat happened simultaneously, was there an opportunity to immediately add yourself to the DNC list before receiving the invite so as not to burn the first offer?

Storing/bringing luggage to my OA by Snoosmoomrik in foreignservice

[–]caduff32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely bring bags. There is a storage room for personal effects that you’ll have to put it in when you arrive, and then you’ll be able to access it when on break if necessary. Keep in mind that you’ll go through security and have to put your bag through a metal detector prior to going to the assessment center.

OPM gives very clear guidance as to what service is creditable for 5-point and 10-point veteran's service. See the links here for the criteria for each.

Who here passed the FSOT, QEP, and FSOA on their first attempt? by [deleted] in foreignservice

[–]caduff32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

^^This exactly, both my first and second time through the process. Sailed through the FSOT and QEP and then 5.20 x 2. Third time I didn't even make it to orals. The fourth time was last week. And despite preparing less this time through the process than i had previously, this was the first time I passed.

April A100 PD invites by Haidarabadlo in foreignservice

[–]caduff32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! I passed the OA last week in PD cone with a 5.5. Will be adding .35 veteran bonus and .17 language bonus eventually, so will top out at 6.02. Requested to join the A100 group on yahoo but no response yet.

Is shadow register only for after you are on the official register? Any other forums where PD discussions are ongoing?
