For some reason my background check isn't complete yet. Its been like 6 hours since they started!! What's the hold up!?!?! Just kidding. :smilelol5:

I wonder though, can your background be too clean? I'm in my 40s and have only once had a LEO contact and it was a verbal warning to repair a tail light on a trailer owned by my boss. There is nothing to see...hmm.

Waiting patiently :banghead: Ha!

So I was only joking about the background check "taking so long" as it had been less than a day. Now, here I am the very next day and the background check is complete and manufacturing is pending!! I never expected that! :woohoo

Now here comes the long part "manufacturing pending".

My application went through quick about as fast as
Yours, and I've been stuck at MP for about 6-7 days.

Plastic in hand!! :chldancing :woohoo
15 days door to door. Not bad! For some reason I thought there would be music, balloons falling from the ceiling, etc. But alas, none of that happened. I'm still smiling though. I would like to thank everyone on this board for all of the helpful information and kind words. This is a tremendous resource and we're lucky to have it!

Well, it is a little late, but congrats! Hope you went out and did a documented Wally Walk for us. Has any of the "new" worn off yet?

Your sig, "Z", may seem a little ironic in the coming weeks. If you add another z every day, pretty soon it will be:

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You will feel like you are walking through molasses, inching towards the finish line where the all-mighty plastic awaits you.

:smilelol5:

In reality, it will be safely parked in your wallet in no time at all.
