Way to go brother! Glad to hear you've got plastic in hand! The sad part is that I took the course on the same day as you, but because I dragged my feet, I'm still a full month behind you.

Enjoy that walk!

Good luck to you man! I've been carrying around the house as well and I get more and more comfortable with it every day. I ordered an alien gear and it's comfortable and seems to be pretty durable (although I've had very limited use with it). I also sent my docs in about a week and a half or two weeks before I got my confirmation. I physically mailed them off on 1/11, then after being informed that they hadn't come in, I uploaded digitally on 1/21 and got conformation on 1/22. Here's to both of us seeing plastic sooner rather than later.

Today marks one month since my document confirmation email. Feels like it's been forever, and I know I still have a forever or so left to go. The Waiting Room posts have been a great way to keep myself busy so far.

I feel the same way. I got a confirmation email for my supporting documents, but when I call, I never get a definite answer as to whether I have everything in or not. They tell me that the documents they need are the training course document and the fingerprints. Then they tell me they received the fingerprints on 1/13. When I ask if they have my training course document, I'm told "It has not been processed and that I should wait up to six weeks for processing." They make it seem as if they have it, but they won't say "Yes we have that document". The not knowing is the worst part.

Amen to that. I need an actual beer!

So I'm seeing that most people are getting their plastic about a month and a half to 2 months from the time they get their document confirmation email.

My timeline:

12/26: LTC Class
01/03: Online Application submitted
01/11: Fingerprints submitted
01/22: Supporting documents confirmation email

As of now, I'm hoping to end the wait in mid March, but who knows. For now, I'll just continue to do nothing about it because that's all I CAN do about it.
