We've got nothing better to do than watch t.v. and have a couple of brews. - Black Flag

Two days ago, I heard that I'm still "pending in adjudications".   I'm getting a bit bored with this.  I wish there were something I could do, other than wait.

The January A-100 class is being formed.  A-100 is the name of the five week orientation class for entry level officers.  A friend from my OA study group made the cut.  Nice to know someone who has made it.

In my boredom, I often check the latest messages on the yahoo group for OA passers.  The group is currently whipping itself into a frenzy.  In the last two months, the registers of eligible hires have grown.  People are getting their clearances, but without any corresponding classes formed to make the registers smaller.  Now, the Jan. class is being called, but isn't a big as expected.  Some are worried that the lists are growing faster than people will be called.  For people with lower scores, this means that they may never make it off the register.  No frenzy for me yet.  If I report here that I've purchased the Rosetta Stone tutorial on Turkish or Russian, you'll know I'm concerned.
