Round 6 - Where do we stand

[onebugle]

I know the whole process is an enigma to most of us, but I never could understand why they can't just notify those who are definately out.

Hmmmm.....tell everyone all at once that they got a DJ = everyone else knows they won an award. What's the fun in that. No checking application 6..7..8..9..10 times a day for an inkling of a potential award; stressing out, heart palpatations, heart burn when someone posts a DJ hoping you don't; what would we have to talk about on the forums for 8 months until the next application period opens; Earl would be out of a job as a counselor for the obsessed; worse yet...firefighters hate change. Nope, can't be done.

Still Waiting also

We fall into that group of still waiting. Recieved our questions on 9/6 with the 2006 award number referenced on a 2004 AFG award package. We contacted the help desk to verify that they had recieved our 10 question reply. They said no worries, that they would contact us if they hadn't recieved them. We also hadn't seen any kind of contact in regards to a reduction so I wouldn't think that would be the hold up. It sounds like just taking their time to get the awards out this year. As if nobody had noticed that taking place!!!!

Maybe if were really really good, we might actually make it onto Santas grant list before the new year!!!!

Earl would be out of a job as a counselor for the obsessed; worse yet...firefighters hate change. Nope, can't be done.

Earl's busy enough at his day-gig right now that he's willing to take a sabbatical from counselling for about 6 weeks. Here's the keys to the pharmacy, y'all need to self-medicate until about mid-January. Please don't over-indulge!!!

Just FYI they posted new 1199a award numbers last night for quite a few departments. Get to checking again guys!

[Multitask]

Where do you find the 1199a's ?

Where do you find the 1199a's ?

If you have ever had a previous award look under the " view application" menu on the Status screen of your online applciation. If you had a previous award you will see " view 1199a" . Look at that form and you will see a " Ref Award # EMW_06-FG ######" posted there if it has been posted. If you have never had a previous award when you log into your application online in the place where you normally see " view application" it will say "update 1199a".

Thank you much
No change
I am still neurotic over it.

Quiet here in Kansas

I don't think we had any awards in KS in Round 6. I did get a email about reducing my grant for a gear washer from $10,500 to $9,000 on Wednesday and replied Wednesday night. Our grant specialist must be working today, sent me an email acknowleding our acceptance of the reductions this morning and asking for clarification on our answers to the 10 questions.

For those of you with vehicle grants, good luck and get your trucks ordered quickly. I'm applying for my 2nd extension for a 2005 award for a pumper/tanker.

We received the 1199 and subsequent 10 questions in September and still haven't gotten the good news. Any insight out there?
