Plastic has arrived! It was in a simple white envelope & there was not any writing on the mailer card inside. I guess the plastic is enough.... :fire :fire
Good Luck to the rest of you guys!

Yeah, I guess I am. I'm glad I'm not solo - it seems most of the April bunch is gone :cryin
I had a slight heart rate increase today. The wife called me saying there was a USPS sticker on the door - adult signature required - I guess this might be the first time I wasn't completely excited a rifle was delivered, I was hoping it was "THE PLASTIC" :rolll Heck, the rifle wasn't paid for until this past Monday and the copy of my FFL wasn't faxed until later that evening - THE RIFLE IS HERE, WHERE'S MY LICENSE? :mrgreen:
Oh, and I've got things crossed adult men aren't suppose to cross :lol:: I hope it helps :roll:

Whoo Hoo.

Just to recap.

At day 165 I found out that they need 2 forms of proof that I am in the military that was July 3rd. Finally got the good news. Now I am just waiting for plastic.

Whoo Hoo.
Finally, I am in the same boat, my status has officially changed.
I only had to wait a week and a half from being called by phone and notified. Maybe it will be here when I get home today or in the mail tomorrow - Monday there's NO delivery.
The wait continues, although feeling a little more comfy :txflag:
Final celebrations to come :woohoo

I'm still here at 113 days as of today. Though the DPS says mine should be completing any day now. I'll take that with a grain of salt until I see it myself.

Are you saying that the chl department would "be creative with the dates that they tell you?' Like I said in another thread mine supposedly was mailed on sat 29 and today thurs 3rd still a no go!!! Hey it took less than two days to ride my bicycle from Houston to Austin. Maybe I can get a job as a carrier to speed up the process and I will ride my bicycle to make all the "green people" happy. What do you think. By the way I called at 10 minutes to 5pm (chl closes at 5pm) and the answering machine was already turned on!! "rlol"

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
Well, I got my chl in the mail today! Note I was told my chl was mailed on the 29th but it was not post marked until the 2nd!
But on a good note the wife sent her app in three weeks later than me and both of ours arrived today! Maybe some light at the end if the tunnel!! :woohoo :fire
