Agreed on the email notification. I wonder if the "not always getting notified" (is it sometimes or never?) for the kids is related to the multiple accounts having the same email address. I can easily imagine a programmer not anticipating this out-of-the-ordinary situation.

Same here, except there would not have been a recent background investigation.

The only part of my experience that was different from what most people report was an almost hour-long interview. There was no problem (other than with the officer's computer and fingerprint scanner), and the officer spent much more time discussing the program compared to what other people have reported. In retrospect, it appeared that the officer was waiting for some acknowledgement from the computer (maybe related to the fingerprint scanning) before letting me go. On the upside, the officer said I was approved before I walked out the door, so there was none of this "I got the approval email in the parking lot" business.
