Task

4.3.4.0. Deliver it promptly, by hand if possible

Required Often forgotten

The candidate's application should not be delayed, and timeliness is especially critical for a Venturer approaching or past 21, because sending materials late can imply the work continued afterward. Hand delivery if possible, otherwise registered or certified mail.

Notes and warnings

Warning. The reasoning behind the urgency is not bureaucratic. Sending materials late can imply the work continued after the birthday, which is exactly the thing the record is meant to rule out. Hand delivery if possible, registered or certified mail otherwise.
