Does anyone know how to check their application? I'm a semifinalist but don't remember my facility choices

I don't think you can review your choices but I'm not entirely sure.

I am a semi finalist and my first interview is this Thursday. It is at one of the three facilities I chose as my preference.

I can't remember the phone number I used since my number has changed. Are they calling or emailing for interviews?

I first received a text message from my SF coordinator and then a phone call from my escort onto the base after I confirmed I could go with my SF coordinator. Not sure if this is standard or not though. I know some people last year got emails or strictly phone interviews based on my conversation with them.

Congrats on your interview, how exciting !

I’ve been getting a lot of spam calls lately and I’m also wondering if they would email instead of calling. ? I am assuming they would leave voicemails if we can’t pick up the phone. I just can’t be answering every spam call thinking it’s SMART, but if I must I will...

Also, does anyone know if there is a time point when interviews stop? For example, is it safe to assume that if you don’t get called by mid March that you won’t get interviewed ?

All of my interviewers contacted me by email first to arrange a phone call, but other people's experiences were different. I still answered all callers from the area codes I chose as my top choices.

In all honesty, I would highly question accepting employment at a place that disqualifies applicants if they do not answer a cold-call. Brings a lot of questions about expectations and management skills, but maybe that is just me...

As far as I know, there isn't a cut-off date for interviews. Some locations also do not have interviews, so just because you were not contacted by anyone before a certain date does not mean you will not receive an award.

FYI NSRDEC has a new name: CCDC Soldier Center. Its a pretty recent change, so they might give both names when they reach out, but just in case they don't, now you'll know what to keep an eye out for. A lot of Army labs have changed their names recently.

Oh, I had no idea. Thanks for the heads up!

Hi there!

Thank you for your reply, you raise a good point. It is comforting to hear that there is a chance till the very end, but gosh this is going to be a long waiting period.

Thanks. I hope that if they call my number and it's the old one, they'll email for good measure. I've been refreshing my emails every day.
