Ridiculously long, much longer than it needed to be, and disheartening. I was misinformed about which documents would be acceptable; I was not told until over a month after my physical that I'd failed it due to a technicality (?!), when they had gotten the results back almost immediately; then I had to get new authorization to take a new one; then getting my HS transcript took another month due to holidays... After all this, I found out that I wasn't getting the spot I'd applied for and was accepted for! I was relegated to a regular guard post. Finally, they wouldn't allow me to change my shift availability when my life circumstances changed and gave me a shift which caused havoc in my personal life -- yet which I had to take because I needed to work. AND I was accused of lying by my recruiter! Fortunately, I was able to prove her wrong.
