But I digress. I had my .40 cal in the glove box. When I pulled over, I had my DL, CHL and insurance in my...

Re: July 2010 Applications

One of my status updates happened on the weekend as well. At my work we always replicate and update our databases on the nights and weekends because we have more bandwidth available for that process. Large batchces of CHL along with every other type of file are most likely on the same schedule. Just...

Re: July 2010 Applications

Right there with you xpert! I am only on my 3rd week. But everything happened so quickly, I thought my BGC would have been done. I think the one thing that was a horrible decision was for me to log into the dps site to check my status.I can't stop doing that now.
