Have you tried calling CIV team since they’re not responding to your emails? I also did both exams with my MTF in December, but restarted them with the outside clinics per dodmets. You’ll probably need to ask for authorization to use the eye exam from your MTF.
Thanks I’ll try this number because I tried a Colorado number they gave me with no luck.
Yes, and she said I have to talk to DODMERB about it because she doesn’t deal with MTF stuff. So I emailed the help desk again today along with the other 2 emails they had on their voicemail. The only alternative clinic CIV team provided me is over an hour away from my home.
Ahh I wish I knew! That’s good, you don’t have to re-do anything! I didn’t bother to check. I already went to my appointments, and the clinics have submitted the forms from the new appointments.
Did you ever hear anything more about interviews happening in waves?
I am in the same boat as you. I applied back at the end of September and am now stressing about wether I am going to hear back about interviews. I’m curious to see if anyone received any letter denying them yet?
Not yet… honestly all the updates I’ve received after submission have been from someone generous thats apart of this forum or someone that’s gone through the process from previous cycles. I did however send an email on 22 December before the holiday break kicked off. I figure everyone’s busy and getting back into the swing of things here soon. So I’m staying optimistic until something comes back. Soon as I get something I’ll be sure to bring it to the forum of course!
ah your commander reached out? Well that’s still a plus. Hopefully we all hear something back directly soon.
Thanks for the information. My Squadron Commander has been trying to contact them and I believe she is now getting the Group Commander to reach out. When they said we would know by spring, did they give any indication that more people would be interviewed, or the opposite? I don't want to bother them needlessly, but now my leadership want answers as much as I do.
This is good information, thank you. I was hoping to hear back relatively soon, but at least we know it may not be until March or so.
Nice!
Nothing here. What about you? Last notification that I got was from Mr. Ruiz about the service specific boards meeting to select people soon.
When did you hear that?? I haven’t had any communication from EMDP2 since around Christmas time..
I think they’re referring to the email around Christmas mentioning the service specific tertiary review.
It was an email about conducting tertiary reviews.
I will say that Dr.Mack during one of the briefings (back in August) said if we haven’t heard anything yet by the initial interview period (Nov/Dec) don’t assume until we get a definitive no. Case in point I don’t think they were prepared for so many applicants.
Agreed. Everyone that I know that applied was notified one way or another after the application period. So unless you have official notice from the program nothing's off the table I would assume.
At the end of the day, we are all brothers (and sisters) in arms.
I called DoDMETS today and mine is still on a "complete hold" since they didn't get my audiogram from the audiogram doctor...
Mine is marked as complete, but does not specify whether I was cleared. I think the next step for all of us is being cleared, needing a waiver, or being disqualified. I don’t think we will hear any more from USUHS until the announcement results.
I know Mr. Ruiz said that the board doesn’t even look at medical and it doesn’t play a role in the decision. That may be the point where waitlisted people get a chance if those that were offered a spot don’t clear the physical.
Same. Something in mine wasn't submitted.
Ultimately, it should say "closed", which means they have sent your physical to DoDMERB for final review. That's when they determine if you are cleared, need a waiver, or disqualified medically.
You should have received an email from DODMERB about logging into your account. Up there they have a status window that says if they've received your exam, if they have any correspondence for you, and any remedials you may have.
Hope so! Was that the official notification from the program?
In the thread from last year they were notified February 2nd. So I’m crossing my fingers it’s that or earlier. Good or bad, I’m ready for some closure from the process lol
That’s good to hear! I was just about to ask the thread if anyone had heard anything directly from any of the members of the EMDP2 program themselves this month at all. I’m with you hope is all lost so Good luck those just waiting for notification or steps next in the process!
That’s good news! When did your commander hear back from LTC Tilley?? Was it this week?
Yes, it was yesterday.
Someone mentioned in the previous post that they are releasing in March
The public release for the Air Force has been April or May in previous years with notifications in February. Since they are behind, my guess was that the March timeline was for commander and applicant notifications via email and not the personnel centers release. I find it odd for them to say March if we would find out this month, unless they are buying themselves more time. If they are reviewing additional applications like the other post said, it's to replace a poor interview or a denied med physical until they get to ~25.
Strange, I never got this email. I feel like some people get some emails and others different emails. The last email I got was mid December and mentioned that the service specific boards would review packages soon. DODMERB still has not touched my package, but the CIV team didn’t give them documents until yesterday. Ugh.
Do you mind posting the last email you received?
Starting to agree, but I’ve always interpreted it as conditional on our physicals and waivers. So we get an offer and if physical falls through, they go to the waitlisted members. He said that selections are made without seeing any medical so it seems like it’s a separate thing. I could definitely be wrong, I’m just trying to keep my hopes up that it’ll be soon!
Doesn't help that the review board for the physicals is running behind.
