Congratulations, everyone!! It looks like my limited GAL cities aren't on the current list, according to the postings so far, but you have my support and best wishes! Ditto here. Looks like Tampa was just a mirage! Great to see all the good news flowing though. Best of luck to you all!

Received notice, unlimited GAL, 10-point, 44 cities.
Marathon, not a sprint, and whatnot.

One of the worse things that I hated to hear in the military was "line up alphabetically by last name". It was easy for me, unless we had a soldier named Yahoo, Xray or Zebra!!!
When I finally was in charged I would make them line up in reverse, the "UVWXYZ" soldiers loved me for that little bit of payback! Congrats to Funky and everyone else, me and Zebra will wait our turn!

I was looking at the spreadsheet on my phone. It cut the list. I got 38 cities, not 22.

I'm betting that happened to others, if you are looking at the list on a smartphone slide over a few columns on the list.
I feel pretty stupid

Why does the email say the base pay is $104,900? I look at the ALJ chart and "rest of US" is $119,754.

I received one too. Only one city in my GAL. It came about 1:45. Maybe they are going alphabetically. Good luck to everyone who received a notice.

Aw congrats to everyone so far and also good luck, and good luck to those still waiting. It looks like my GAL didn't get picked up this time which isn't a huge surprise so I'm out but will enjoy cheering everyone on. What's a marathon without spectators?

Funky - good call on the priority option, BTW.

Not alphabetical by last name. I got the cert at 10:32 EST. But my last name is in the middle of the alphabet. Need another theory.

Funky - good call on the priority option, BTW. Pfffft... yeah, but his source said certs out May 1st, and they didn't come out until May 2nd. That was WAAAAY off.

It looks like the great majority of reports of emails so far are from Eastern time zone folks. Can anyone support or denounce this theory?

I would like to thank both sources. The nonboard member insider that guessed we wouldn't hear till after May 1 and the anonymous board member that gave timing, city numbers and the ranking info. Both of you were completely right and I greatly appreciate you.
Also, member mostlyquiet, posted some info (then quickly retracted it) sometime ago that the certs would be for around 45 cities. She was jumped on at the time as many thought it couldn't be that small. Mostly, thank you for sharing.
