Got the Call- ICE 1811!
I've always wanted to post in this section!!
I finally got the call for ICE OI this afternoon! When my cell started ringing and I saw the area code that was calling, I just froze and looked at my phone for what had to be a good 15 seconds before I answered. I'm still in shock over three hours later!
I started this process in May 2007 when I submitted my resume for a pin.
Tested September 2007.
SI in December 2007.
TO in July 2008.
T&S on 4/21/09.
Called on 5/1/09.
Late June class. It's gonna be a HOT stay in Georgia but I'll take it!

Well done!
Another example that patience during a long, drawn-out process can often lead to success. Congrats, Kelly, you're getting on board with a good agency with interesting duties and opportunities for its agents.

OK, I am oh so late but I have to put my congrats in the open. You are one of the few who understands what being a P/PO was about. Have fun and be on the look out for the man eating gnats.

I am so far behind the power curve on this one, but congrats Kelly! You deserve it.

Calls Are Coming for 1811
Congratulations to all who have gotten the call recently. I too talked with that nice lady in Dallas yesterday and she informed me I got the office I interviewed out of. You know, it is amazing how when it gets to this point you just don't know what to say. It kind of takes your breath away.
Tested Jan 07
T&S Jan 08
Called May 21, 09
