Re: Submitted my application, let the clock start ticking

70 days total including weekends, and I got it on my Mothers birthday. Not bad from some of the timelines that I have seen on here.

Good luck to all of you that are still waiting.

Re: Submitted my application, let the clock start ticking

Received a letter from DPS on Oct 2nd stating they needed an "unaltered" copy of my DD-214. I realized that when I made a copy of it, I had misaligned the form and had cut off part of the form number. I made the copy showing everything including the complete form number and returned it the...

Re: Submitted my application, let the clock start ticking

Roan, I did basically the same thing. I printed the fees page, wrote it in myself and even "checked" my own box. I hope the folks there have a sense of humor about it.

I filled out the application, but I printed the fees listing from the website showing the $70 veterans fee, the application didn't show it under the special provisions.

Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?

GMCRetz = Chief Gunners Mate (United States Navy, retired) and Retz is the beginning of my last name (Retzlaff). It is usually the way that service members holler for each other; by your last name, nick name, or some version there of.

He and his friends were taking turn throwing it as hard as they could on the ground trying to make it go off. Even at tha...

The Sharp Shooter is a range that is connected to gun sales and CHL training. The owners and clerks tend to be very amiable folks and I have purchased a number of guns from them. Most times they are proud of their product "read a little more expensive", but their customer service, selectio...
