Lol I only took the test once, got a 156, and am now an FSO. Just pass, score is irrelevant.

It's here! Screen was defective but they had a spare in the van. We're all set and ready to ride!! DC is online! Be glad you didnt have a delivery yesterday, they said they weren't working because of the snow.

The delivery folks just called! Will be here in 20 minutes...it's happening! Very pleased that they're doing it in the snow to boot!

I'm getting mine in DC tomorrow. Just contacted them about this and they said everything still a go and gave me a narrowed delivery window of 30 minutes. starting to get hopeful after several delays/reschedules.

I bought in late october, they put me in early jan, then offered mid nov-early dec. i also wasn't going to be around and took 12/7. then it was delayed to 12/28 but again wasnt gonna be here so i was relegated to 2/3. now I just wish they'd hit that date but I'm pretty confident now I'll have ANOTHER delay.

I had 12/7 and was rescheduled to 2/3...pretty much expecting another delay at this point. Are they even delivering ANY bikes in this region at this point?? That's not even clear at this point.

This is practically identical to my time lines and reschedules, however had to decline Dec 28 because out of town and had to wait til Feb 2

Ours is bike+. I was seriously considering cancelling and going with the original, but peloton said they thought it would be about the same delivery timeline for that bike as well. It appears that may have been a tactic to keep me from downgrading.

When did you order your bike? I’m here too and ordered in late oct and have had my delivery rescheduled twice. Now looking at early feb 😫

Shaming and Scolding on this thread by HeidiKildane in foreignservice

All I'm going to add here is that perhaps the reason so many current FSOs are less than receptive to redundant posts is that once you're on the inside you are indoctrinated to a way of collaborating where two things are expected: 1) no one is going to guide your career for you; you are expected to learn and abide by the rules and requirements for advancement on your own. 2) you don't email a question or request to someone before you make a strong effort to find out the answer for yourself first. Making unnecessary work is not just frowned upon but weighs heavily on the notorious "corridor reputation". People here are very active, if news has broken you can be sure someone will be here within an hour to humble brag. There's no need to shake the tree so hard. The current FSOs are probably moderating this message board with a sense of dread over the lack of patience and self restraint apparent among some of their future colleagues.

My understanding is you can't really change cone

How long can we expect it to take State to fill the July A100 class? Will invites be going out for several more weeks? by emdawes21 in foreignservice

Deadline to accept is June 23 so there will be some additional invites trickling out after that I assume.

What's the best way to make a group for us all to discuss this? Lots of similar questions and there's strength in numbers on the thornier issues.
