Plastic just arrived!!! 25 days mailbox to mailbox!

Maybe checking it 5+ times a day does help. It's mailed!!!

I'm checking at least 5 times a day. And you're right...it isn't helping.

Status just updated this morning....

I hope mine goes that fast. My "time to beat" is apparently 47 days. That's how long it took my Pop to receive his. Just a little friendly father/son competition.

Mailed!

And so the wait begins....

Thanks, Pop!

So I've got my training cert and passport photos in hand. Saturday evening I'm getting my fingerprints done at L-1. What method should I use to send these to DPS to be sure they arrive? USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, Carrier Pigeon.... And should I request delivery confirmation and/or certified mail as well? I want as close to a 0% chance of things getting "lost in the mail" as I can possibly get and I REALLY appreciate y'all's advice.

Just took my CHL class yesterday, today I submitted my application, tomorrow I'm getting my passport photos, and Saturday evening I'm getting my fingerprints done. Then it's all off to Austin to play the waiting game.
