Default FOL

I just received my FOL with a class date of 05/08. Is anyone else, on this forum, going to be there at the same time? I'm desperately trying to find somewhere to stay, now.....

Just curious what an FOL is. Of all the posts I've been reading lately that's the first I've seen mentioning it!

When did you get your TOL, and what state are you selected for, I did the Miami PEPC on the 19th of last month.

I was told that everything had cleared, by my HR reps secretary, when I called to check on the status of my application. Then, within an hour or so, my HR rep had called me to ask me my preference for date, and then within an hour of that received my FOL, via email.

congrats AJ and Codwell, I guess I'll be seeing you guys out it okc. I was offered 5/8 but had to decline because I'll be on a little vacation for a few days. I chose the 5/29 basics class. Where are you staying?? I just started researching places but the quality doesn't look all that great. I guess beggars can't be choosers. Ideally I would like to spend 40 or under so I have a decent amount of per diem left over.

I think you need to present a contract and/or receipt(s) to get your per diem.

You get $79 if you stay at a hotel/apartment and $50 if you stay with friends/relatives. So, yes, you still get the per diem, just a lesser amount.

hopefully you can find a roommate and split the costs. Then you can keep more of your money.

Or you could be like me...since I'm from OKC, I won't get any per diem at all. I'm supposed to survive for 3 months on $8/hour. Period.

Sooner- you'll get $9/hr and $50/day in per diem. My FOL states that if you're staying w/ family/friends you will get $50/day. :-)

That would be nice, but my understanding is that if you live within a certain radius of OKC (i.e. if you're actually from here), you don't get anything but the hourly pay. Maybe someone could clarify that for me for sure?
