Sorry if I missed any discussion of this in previous threads. I am wondering how long it typically takes for a prospective member to complete the application process? Is it any shorter if the prospective member has recently moved to the area and is transfering from another department?
Here is why I am asking. I recently moved, and am joining a new department. I passed the background check first, then filled out an application, was accepted by the company, and have now passed my physical. That process took 2.5 months. I have been told it will probably be some time in December before I am officially in the department and able to respond/ride.
Further background on me. Seven years in another volunteer department, FF-I, heavy rescue, ladder co. ops, haz-mat ops, technical rescue, etc.
Thanks in advance for your response.
