    With this administration I am shocked they didn't call it "Firearms and Explosives Application Resource (FEAR)"

    Directly into the General Fund, not the ATF's budget.

    That is clever.

    I was destined to be in that group no matter how they did it. First name "g", last name "h", email "g"...

    Like Julyaz, I got the email late yesterday afternoon, and got all excited, as I had an f1 pending, just to be disappointed.
    But, further up the emails, yesterday morning, was my approval email, so I didn't try to log in.
    I had sent it in last October.

    She got me too. Is it really that difficult? I guess I shouldn't expect competency, seeing as how it is the ATF...

    I just wonder who they bought a clue from on those. Approval for those should have been automated 10 years ago.

    No wonder people can't trust the government to get anything done. Sigh....
    Govt IT is the incompetent among incompetents. They move so slow that by the time something is finished it's functionally obsolete. That's why I'm stuck using IE10 (IE8 until recently!) on my work computer, despite it not functioning correctly with websites used for REQUIRED Army training.
