Re: Not happy with the Sponsoring Facility

This may be a late reply as you may have accepted/denied already, but I was in a similar boat. I'm coming from Charlotte NC (pop 700,000) to Warner Robins GA (pop 50,000) and while it did feel small at first, it did have some upsides and now I can say I'm looking forward to going back next week for ...

I ended up loving it there :D Don't be afraid to accept other facilities. From what I understand, it's easier to ...

Re: Fingerprinting

Digital fingerprinting worked fine for my SF-87. My local police department doesn't even use the old ink method anymore.

Re: No phone interview request = bad sign?

I didn't receive my phone interview until mid March (2008) I believe.

I saw some question threads so I though I would stop in and see if I can answer any questions you might have about the scholarship. I'v been in the program since fall 2...
