Ehh, the fact is that this one RSD Office, in Austin, Texas has to handle all of our CHL needs, I'm pretty sure they know they can only handle so much at any given time. It is frustration though playing the waiting game, but it is well worth the wait.

Frustration at government processing times...not a first, but it's all first world problems anyway so it's hard to complain too much . I just see a guy reading thru all the arm chair hypothesis posts on lunch about the reason for our applications taking so long and grinning. I know I would be...

Haha, yeah, forsure, I could see it too. It's seems as if their process time Fluxuates frequently and a lot, my CHL was out the door today (day 32) I've seen other people' take 30 I've seen others take 70, I wonder why that is...

Day 32! Mailed!! I'm happy:)

Gary- when did you send your packet in?

Thanks Paul, I appreciate that!:) means a lot especially coming from a fellow Texan. I will always be a Texan know matter where the Military takes me, and I'll end up back home in Montgomery, when I retire from the Military! Texans are so gracious to their service members, no other state/country can compare.

So this past Wednesday, I received a status change update

Emailed CHL Packed: 2/25/2014

Here's where I'm at:

I Emailed all 9PDF pages for my application on 2/25/2014. For whatever reason they said they never revived my 3029 (Military Weapon proficiency) LES, and Special Condition: Military ID.

I called DPS - RSD yesterday and after a 1 hour hold, I spoke to two people, the second person who answered the phone seemed like she didn't want to be on the phone for very long and her immediate response was "we are working on Feb 1st - Feb 14 right now", and I explained to her, I just spoke to a gentleman and the reason he transferred me to you is because they have worked on my packet, and this is time sensitive as I'm getting deployed soon, long story short after she knew I was on the phone with someone else and I was transferred for a specific reason, she gave me her work email, so I could email her the documents directly, as it IS a time sensitive issue for me. Over 24 hours later with a direct email of "missing documents" still no update. I just really hope I can get a solid answer/ verification that it has been sent, before I get deployed.

Hope this information helps.

*Side Question*—— a passport isn't required is it?! Nothing on the CHL Application packet/ Military side of things say they NEED a passport, this I didn't submit any passport info.

Respectfully,
Nate
