Carb delays

yes they are behind, and yes people have been notified for carb.

the process is embarrassingly slow. youre gonna need a lot of patience with this. check your emails if you are being carbed and your list number is close.

If you were ever on dismissal probation you get carbed. If your charges are more than 5 years old you don't get carbed

Just trying to clarify. If your charges are 10 years or older, you still go thru carb? Reading the comments has me a bit confused so I apologize in advance for asking the same question.

if your charges were over 5 years old and you did NOT receive dismissal probation as a punishment, it is highly likely you will NOT be carbed...

but just keep in mind, this job tends to change the rules for whoever and whenever they deem fit...
