Re: April 2010 applications
I'd like a play-by-play of how to stalk the Mail Carrier. I'm sure I'll need it someday...

Finally, after 3 weeks of zero progress does it show that my fingerprints are complete. Good LORD. Hopefully the background check is done soon and I can get my danged plastic.

My wife and I bought 2 "BioBox" - none for our nightstands as we have no children, but 1 for each car.
quick and easy fingerprint swipe and they are open.
One of my co-workers (with kids) has 1 for him and 1 for his wife for their nightstands and they love them.
Doesn't matter to me who you buy from, just showing you one on EBAY http://cgi.ebay.com/BIOBOX-BIOMETRICS-F ... 45f2fd2525
If you get this type, do not pay more than about $120 for each. If you go to Amazon or other sites, they are normally about $180+

Re: April 2010 applications
Surprise, surprise, surprise.............
My CHL changed overnight from "Manufacturing Pending" to "Mailed". Got to skip the Manufacturing step, just lucky I guess.
So far it has been 59 days since I mailed the application. Now on to stalking the mailman, just once a day will work for me. I thank all of you for your comments, etc. as it has helped in this crazy business of waiting. The forum is a treasure trove of information. Next purchase (today) is a gun safe for the night stand.

Re: April 2010 applications
I looked at a BioBox at The Bullet Trap on Monday - thought it was very cool but I think it was like $240 up there. Thanks for the pricing tip. They did have a good sale on guns at the Bullet Trap - my husband picked up a Springfield XD 40 for $360.Teamless wrote:Enjoy the shoppingRFB wrote:Next purchase (today) is a gun safe for the night stand

Re: April 2010 applications
Thanks Teamless for the tip. I bought the box for $119. Again thanks to all for contributing to the Forum, it is absolutely worth more than the "admission price".Teamless wrote:Enjoy the shoppingRFB wrote:Next purchase (today) is a gun safe for the night stand

Re: April 2010 applications
Got home from work and had a large envelope from DPS. THey sent me my certified copy of my DD-214 back saying thank you and that they had made a copy for their records. It said that they did not need my original which it was not. When I got out of the service I took my original to my county records and had them make me five certified copies and log in my original but is was nice of DPS to look out for me like that.
