    I àpplied for mine about a month ago. Had just got my hazmat back and that took 6 weeks so I'm thinking it should be soon. Been working here 5 weeks now and haven't needed it yet.

    My Twic renewal took about 10 working days. I also renewed my passport...just in case. It took me awhile but I managed to get everything that needs renewal to come due in October. Lots easier that way.

    Over the years I've learned there is no rhyme or reason to it with something that requires background checks/fingerprints. Two people could go in the same day and get their stuff a month apart. Unless you're getting a carry permit and they will take the maximum amount of days they're allowed by law to process it.

    Right, if I remember correctly my CC took quite some time to arrive in the mail.

    Federal government is firing everyone who didn't get an experimental vaccine that doesn't work. Same with any federal government vendors. If you think it's bad now, wait until next month when they have lost even more people.

    Good grief. They said it was slow because so many people were applying. Sounds kinda similiar to when they say the hospitals are packed. There packed because there short on staff, but they forget to mention that.

    Yeah, not a good time in history to be sick. Short staffed due to layoffs, and then they fired so many because they didn't want covid shots.
