TWIC

Good morning everyone,

Since DS signed and accepted his appointment to KP this weekend, we are (well mostly me) doing intensive research about what need to be done for the I-day.

One item that is important to know is that each candidate needs to report in with TWIC card for the I-day.

Here‟s the website to pre-enroll and schedule an appointment and I highly recommend this procedure so you have time to get the TWIC before Indoc: http://www.tsa.gov/what_we_do/layers/twic/index.shtm, the fee is $128.00

DS scheduled and appointment and going there today, on the website it says 10-12 weeks delay in issuing the card.

So heads up for other excited parents/future midshipmen’s.

I just renewed mine. I received my new card in the mail within about a week despite the tech warning me about the 10-12 weeks.

Fingers crossed, I've read posts from last year's candidates, that many didn't had their TWIC for the INOC day...
Hopefully will go fast and painless for all this year

They mailed yours? I had to go in and pick my renewal (actually, extension, but that is another deal) up. . . .

We have had reports that incoming 2019 Plebe Canididates with new TWIC card requests, are able to recieve them in the mail.
This certainly was NOT the case even a year ago. This is good news for many, as for us, the trip to a TWIC office was a four hour drive.

My understanding is that the mailing of TWIC Cards is fairly new. I only just did mine the end of February.

Here is our update:

DS went down there Monday afternoon, was told the TWIC card will arrive by mail 3-4 weeks, so 17TexasMom, you are correct.
