MTAhopefullMatt Posted May 12, 2014 Share #3502 Posted May 12, 2014 This all sounds very exciting, and very intense. So it's a full-day of school car, and then some studying at home for the next day? Or are you done once you punch out for the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just school work etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just trying to get a sense of the day to day time commitment, for those of us with other (family) responsibilities as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just find time, just like anything else. People in my class are in the same boat as you also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTAhopefullMatt Posted May 13, 2014 Share #3508 Posted May 13, 2014 Does anyone know what number they're up to? Amen, Grey. That's the question on the mind of everyone waiting to be called. What # was the most recent one appointed, but also where they are in the list in terms of writing people to start the process (drug test). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brownhornet78 Posted May 15, 2014 Share #3519 Posted May 15, 2014 Look!! One piece of advice to all those coming in, and hopefuls. No one is in COMPETITION!!! This is not a race to see who can do what better than who, or finish a quiz fastest in the class. The TSS's will give you guys the tools you need to pass exams, but it's up to you to put the work in and STUDY! And if you don't understand something, ASK!!! No matter how many times until you get it. And the TSS's WILL KNOW if someone's not understanding something. They will ask DOES ANYONE NOT UNDERSTAND SO FAR? Don't play macho! Because I'll be the first to let them know if I don't understand anything! I'm not here to play macho!!! If y'all don't take anything from me, take this advice. Good luck and congrats!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonDoub Posted May 15, 2014 Share #3523 Posted May 15, 2014 Official # is 2133. Everyone called after (close to 2300's) is not registered yet. as soon as they start their classes - they will be officially registered with the DCAS. Most likely that # will be posted next month (June). My list # in 2580s, expecting to be called end of August or October-November to start next hiring cicle which is next year.

I called Ms. Shivers on April 24th. She said the last called for final processing was 2379. That was over 2 weeks ago, seems like they move 50 names a week or so. MY D/T expired yesterday, so I'm pretty confident I'll be called for the June or July class. List # 2510-2520. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
