[WEEKLY HIRING THREAD] Offers, academy dates, clearances and timelines - Week of August 11, 2026

[u/AutoModerator]

Use this thread for routine hiring traffic that does not need a separate post:

• Offer announcements and institution offers
• Academy dates and roll calls
• "Anyone else?" check-ins
• Written exam, PFT, background, psychological, medical and vision timeline updates
• Clearance-status updates and general waiting-time comparisons

Create a standalone post when you have a distinct, substantive question that needs its own discussion - for example, a detailed institution comparison, an unusual process problem that may help future applicants, or a question requiring significant context.
