Discussion:How long does it take to get your EA Treasury card?

We've seen it take anywhere from 3 weeks to 120 days. It APPEARS to take longer if there's anything in your background or tax transcript that raises an eyebrow at OPR.

Don't forget to join NAEA.

You might want to consider making up your own temporary card on your computer, and having it sealed in plastic at Office Depot.

A lot of the ethnic people around where I live put a little gold glitter on their card. So, you might consider dressing it up a little bit. It never hurts to be fashionable these days.

Even so, it's an improvement over my law license which is Business Baroque bordering on Churrigueresque.

Anyway, I used the Community Chest card in my Monopoly set as my EA card, and the public didn't seem to know the difference. So, anyone here is free to use my idea.

Regarding when a person actually becomes an EA. It's a mystery. It's like asking a priest when the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Christ.

You can't know it with any precision. However, try the neighbor test. The first time you tell your neighbor that you're an EA, and he says: "Ugh. What's that?" That's a pretty good indication that you are an EA.

P.S. There is, however, one little known benefit to being an EA. Most people don't know this, but EA's are 2,196th in line in the succession to the Presidency of the United States should the president die or become incapaciated while in office. You know, it goes President, Vice-President, Speaker of the House.... and on and on down the line...until it gets to mail carriers, and then EA's.

So, if you are the last standing EA (or strongest and meanest of the EA's under the Might vs. Right doctrine) then you at least have a chance at one day becoming the President (assuming everyone else is annihilated).

The reason you are given the card is so that you can prove this on your way to the White House.

I fell asleep when I was half way through the Introduction to the Gleim review, and I have frankly not been fully awake since then.

So, you still have a good shot at becoming President.

You don't get to call youself an EA merely by passing the SEE because OPR has to do the background check first.

This is a little weird considering that you get to fly an airplane upon passing your check flight. Buuuutttt...as we all know, the law is always more careful about money than it is about lives.
