Welcome Packages?

Basics for me is 4/7.. when is the average timeline for welcome packages to start showing up? 1 week prior? A day? When should you start calling about it? Can you get started in OKC without one?

Any ideas?
 
I got mine 2 days before I left. They called me three different times to tell me they were sending it. Some people in my class didn't even get theirs before they left. It's really not that critical though. There isn't anything in it you REALLY need when you get here. If you are concerned about it PM me & I will give you the specifics. The one thing you need is the day/time to show up.
 
Does the welcome package include the Health Care coverage enrollment information?

I am trying to time the transition from my current insurance to the new insurance and I wanted to make sure I had all my ducks in a row before I left.

No you get that & an enrollment form on the first day. But you can go to opm.gov and research everything.

FAA health insurance will begin the 1st day of the pay period after you file your provider choice paperwork. So at the very least, you'll have a few days as a FAA employee without FAA health insurance.

If you want to see what health plans are available, check the OPM website: http://www.opm.gov/insure/new_employ/index.asp
 
email straight from my HR rep:


"The academy generally sends their info via fedex about 10days before the
class begins. Normal reporting is at 0700 - the academy address is 6500 S.
Macarthur Blvd, OKC 73169, i would be at the gate about 0615-0630 to get ckd
in and meet your escort at 0700."
