Recieving Confirmation

Once you receive confirmation that your fingerprint card and background check have cleared along with them receiving your medical questionnaire, they will ask you to fill out a welcome packet and send it back to them within a 10 day period.  As I have suggested before, I do suggest you fill it out in a timely manner and early so that it can get back to them via email will more than enough time.    When filling out the PDF form, it will ask for a digital signature on a number of forms.  This can be done using adobe reader or you could probably print out the forms, sign them, then scan and email them back.  I would imagine having them hand signed would be fine, but I would confirm with them to make sure emailing them a scanned copy of the form would be fine instead of using a digital signature.

After you send the welcome packet back, give them some time to process it then they will email you back and ask you to fill out a travel plan document as well as fill out a travel plan on your MyAmeriCorp online.  This as far as I know to date is the last form they will ask you to send back.   Once you complete them and it is received, they will send you your itinerary for your trip to campus for the start of the program.     This is the stage where they will give you your final information on how to prepare and your details for traveling there.  You will also hear if other people are coming to the same campus from where you are leaving from if you are coming from a bigger city or via a bigger city.

More info to come.  Most likely about getting ready to leave for FEMA Corp then the beginning of FEMA Corp where I will be starting in Maryland.    Leave a comment, or you can now send me a question via the question box on the right.  I'll do my best to answer questions and keep up to date with the answers, plus it could make for some good dialog.
