To Call or Not to Call

I just read about someone that had been waiting more than eight weeks for their medical clearance. Here is what he said:

    "My medical clearance was taking what I felt was forever. After 8 and a half weeks of waiting I called medical and talked to my reviewer. She said right now that 8 weeks wasn’t that bad and she hadn’t even got to my file…then she pulled my file from the stack and cleared me over the phone in about 10 minutes because I had called."

I've only been waiting two weeks, but as soon as I saw the above email, all I could think about was giving them a call...

I'm going to try and wait a little longer -- logically, I know that two weeks is not that much time to have been waiting.

I've Got My Eyes on You

This post is to officially state that nothing has changed in my status; but I am watching it, watching it very closely...

Have a great week!

Dental and Legal are not Done

At 5:11 am today, I received another Peace Corps status change email.

Well, I thought I had received both dental and legal clearance, but I was wrong -- I had only received dental clearance.

They just started reviewing my legal information -- therefore I currently have a legal hold. It doesn't mean anything is wrong, just that they are in the review process.

Hope u r having a gr8 weekend!

Happily Surprised

One of my daughters just told me she is considering going into the AmeriCorps while I am in the Peace Corps! Pretty cool or what?

Have a great night!

Just A Little Post While I Wait...

I just received an official snail mail from the Peace Corps. The letter states

    "Our dental consultant has determined that you are qualified for dental clearance".

It also states that dental clearance is only good for one year...

The neat thing about getting Peace Corps snail mail is that one of my daughters always calls me at work as soon as it arrives -- it's like getting an unexpected present; and I get to tape them up on my wall of offical PC letters!



Now I just have to wait for that pesky medical clearance.
