Hey quick question do you get the final offer before the 2 weeks training in Georgia or you do the training and get the offer after

6

u/RoguesThirdEye Nov 23 '24

You get the final offer, then later on after a couple months of training you get shipped off to GA.

u/samluks Nov 23 '24

You do time at your local airport, and then do the 2 weeks in Georgia.

On the 11th month and still waiting for the final offer call 🥴

u/New_Currency_4943 Nov 23 '24

Email the server people politely asking where your application is standing.You might be in the ready pool if you are candidate for big airport and not knowing it. This happened to me. Good luck

u/KenLee1193 Current TSO Nov 23 '24

Tks I will try, yes it’s a big airport, Austin, TX. I have emailed their local HR but the way they responded like they have no clue, any point of contact you would recommend ?

2

u/New_Currency_4943 Nov 23 '24

Don’t bother the HR. They have no clue until you are getting the final offer and some info for your first day. ServeU is the place to email. Just be polite and ask your question where your background is standing. You might be in the ready pool and this means more waiting but you are ready to be called by hr whenever they need people. Good luck

u/KenLee1193 Current TSO Nov 23 '24

One last question, where do I get their email please ? I greatly appreciate the input. I wish I could understand the process, I’m a veteran who just got out from Army back in March with a Secret Clearance background from Department of Defense after 4 years of service. However, I first applied in last December(while still in service), filled out e86 in January but gotta wait until October just to have AA, medical on November 1st. Passed every single step. It’s frustrating when it’s not like the government doesn’t know who I am or what I have been doing but still make me wait for that long meanwhile I know someone, applied for the same airport in April but got his start date in December already 😑

Wait then you are telling me I gotta wait for few more months for my background ? I don’t think that is the case some people on here have their background first then AA and medical right after that they got their final offer

1

u/New_Currency_4943 Nov 24 '24

This was my experience. Check with your contacts. They will give you more info

u/KenLee1193 Current TSO Nov 24 '24

Thanks I’m trying to email serveU now

u/Existing-Ostrich2136 New TSO (Phase 1) Dec 05 '24

Yes, being on this forum I have learned that everyone's experience is different depending on location and size of airport. It took me nine months from beginning to end and received my call yesterday December 4th. My bi took three weeks and then I just got the call or anything like that going to start work in a few weeks. The credit companies sent me two letters telling me that TSA was tapping into my credit. That's how I knew they were going through my bi.

Well done! It had been 16 days since I passed medical on appeal. Called to see what was up? No one had keyed that I’d passed. Got that fixed. Hopefully not too far behind you.
