As far as I have heard, next academy will begin on Feb. 14 (Valentines Day). On average, you will get 7-14 days notice of the academy so inform you employer now that it will be short notice.
For those who got the call, check your emails. It will include attachments with instructions in how to get your ID/uniform/etc. and what to bring. They will also mail you an official document about a week after your acceptance call. I would always overdress rather than under dress for every...
It could literally be anyone. Just make sure you bring proper documentation with you every location you go to (i.e. Metrotech, Ft Totten.) I highly recommend setting up a car pool with others and do not take Public transportation if at all possible, as it's unpredictable and there are no excuses...
Yes, 1/3 of your academy (TOP 15-03 I assume) will automatically to assigned EMD. They take Volleys first but if there are not enough, they will mandate you. You will learn more about their role while in TOP class. The fail rate for the academy is very minute...just study and take what the...

I did not defer from earlier. And yes, I did have a choice of either AM or PM. The investigator said that at least 1/3 of the Feb. 9 academy will go EMD (I assume she means both classes).
I'm going in on the 3rd @8AM and the 5th @9AM for uniform and the such.
So I'm #55* and taking my medical on Sept 9th. I just got notice that my employers, (both present and past) have gotten notices from the dept. I thought this only happened right before the academy or are they really rushing ppl in?
