DOC Having another class?

I heard from a reliable source that the DOC is hiring another 75 guys for an academy real soon. Anyone hear able to verify this? I was told the cards are going out within a week. Here is another question hopefully someone can answer. I went through the PT, MED and Physc Tests back in September and passed all of them. I didn't get called cause they didn't go far enough down on the list, is this stuff that I passed still valid?
