Got my email today for only 1 city, but I only had a small number of cities on my list due to family situation that would prevent me from moving far from where I am now. This was same city as on the first cert. Don't need to interview again, but email says that interviews for new foks are taking place in mid-November and report to duty station would be "late-January." All my eggs in one basket now!

This isn't what I expected: I just got Bob's follow-up email about the forms that were supposed to be attached to his previous email -- but I can't find the previous email... Is anyone else in this situation?

I was startled to receive an e-mail today. I am a confirmed (i.e. I have actual information) 3-striker from the previous register and haven't been on a cert (despite score qualification) since they had OPM stop sending names (including last cert - at least I thought that was the reason last cert). I admit I hadn't even been watching the board, since my ship had sailed (and this may merely be a cruel image of it from a distance). In any case, I'll send in the paperwork. I had 9 cities, for what it's worth, none close to my home (one is Lawrence, MA), but all I would take immediately. Good luck everyone.

Is anyone else in this situation? FOLKS - Check your spam folder. Then check it again. If you don't have the email by tomorrow am then you should email Bob.

I would venture to say a lot of the cities listed on this cert probably have only one opening. Some may have two, but not any more beyond that in terms of hiring. Also, although, 27 cities are listed it doesn't mean all will be hired, as transfers will continue until the next hire date. Lastly, due to the fact there are a lot of new cities on this cert, the cut-off score will be pretty close to the same as last time in the mid-73s because of new higher scores making this new set of certs. We are talking about a smaller cert with less hires this time than the first cert. Hopefully, the next cert will be a larger cert again like the first one. Doesn't Baltimore have an NHC? That could be almost any number of hires, if they want it to be. But good points.

I e-mailed Bob about my "missing" e-mail. He responded quickly and told me to be patient as e-mails were still being sent out. I received my e-mail with geographic matches and forms about 20 minutes later. Thanks Sratty for the contact information. BTW: One city (Hartford CT).

I knew that three strikers were back in play on this register, as there were some on the first set of certs. So, prop, we are back in the game.

It would have said Baltimore NHC more than likely propmaster. However, I could be wrong, but ther is an ODAR office in Baltimore, too.
