I am Worldwide available…

May 18, 2009 in Foreign Service by melissa | 5 comments

…medically speaking that is. Today I received a nice letter in the mail from the US Department of State Office of Medical Services. It included the following:

Reason for Clearance: -> Pre-employment
Medical Clearance Determination: -> Worldwide available
Date Issued: -> 5/12/2009 2:20:35 PM

My favorite part is that they time stamped it. I feel so official now! One more major hurdle to go, my Top Secret Security Clearance. I’ll write a little more about that tomorrow.

    You are getting closer to being on the register. My wife just passed her oral on May 18th and we are watching your blog to judge your progress, since we are about 75 days behind you. My wife and I along with our three children will all be seeing the doctor in the next few weeks for our medical clearance.

    Congrats! We should get together to celebrate (either now or when it becomes official official). My mom’s in town this week, but I’ll call you over the weekend to get something scheduled. :)

    Hi Missa!

    I did an interview with a very official Official from the Department of something Investigative whatnot at Starbucks a few weeks back and his comment to me when we parted was that it was “truly a pleasure” and he wished everyone strived to be “as open and honest” in their answers as I did.

    All I could say was that I hoped you made the cut, because you would definitely be an asset in this vein of service for our country and he agreed. Talk to you soon!

    Love,
    Elaine
