Still here too. I'm starting to get the feeling this is just not going to happen.

Yes, baby...now we're talking! Only 119 days. I think that's better than average...considering.




Now...I still need to survive the last and final challenge of the U.S. mail, but a thirsty man would never curse a dark cloud.

God bless the U.S. mail....PLASTIC! Total time...123 days.

Plastic arrived today!!

I kinda bailed on tradition and went to Lowe's instead of Walmart.

Appears April was the one of the worst months for submitting applications. Most I have seen are over 100 days and I still haven't received mine-4 months since I submitted it on April 17th. I hope to hear something by Friday from Heather. My county appears to be one of the worst offenders (El Paso County) for slow return of the county background checks. My application was sitting in someone's stack for 62 days before it was even entered and my fingerprint card was returned to me for my signature. When I talked to Chris today regarding my status I told him they needed to be running 3 shifts to catch up. He told me that they are running 2 shifts. Good news for the new applicants-not good news for me and the other April applicants still waiting. Anyway I am just waiting for Friday and hopefully some good news.

WHOOP, WHOOP, WHOOP ... Ms. Postal Person delivered my plastic today... Dear Hubby brought it to me at work and also stuck an extra gun in his pocket and brought it to me, LOL

Are there any April applicants left still waiting or am I the last one??

My wife just got her PIN 2 days ago on day 121. I got my PIN on day 91, and my plastic on day 103, but we shipped them on the same day, and she had fewer addresses and employers to list. It just doesn't make any sense.

You are not alone my friend. Still waiting for "one more background check".
