Hello NES,
I'm happy to say that I've joined the NES community.
I moved to MA about 15 years ago from the midwest and have been lurking this forum for the past year or so. Needless to say, I was impressed with the discourse in the threads. Great stuff.
Wife and I finally got around to applying for our MA LTCs (I mean really, it only took us 15 years).
I don't think I have to say but there certainly is an interesting licensing process here in MA. With an overabundance of caution, we hired an attorney (Jason Guida) to help us through and to submit the paperwork. Wife had her LTC-A w/no restrictions in 22 days. Took mine a bit longer (perhaps because my background is clear but not necessarily "clean") at 37 days LTC-A w/no restrictions. With all of the holidays in between, the turn around time by Chelmsford PD (Offc. Bellissimo) was amazing based on some of the reading about delays and such in MA. I attribute that in part to Jason's experience and wording on the statement addendum.
The funny thing is, even though it took us fifteen years to apply, I feel more free and perhaps have a greater sense of responsibility to the community. Funny that.
I'm looking forward to contributing to the NES community. Thanks all...
Best,
vicorjh
