Thank you @ghostfacer99, though I will admit I am wondering if by chance I have missed something. I have noticed that there are others that have posted their Achievement1 posting after me that have already been 'verified', 95% or better of those posts that I see are "Achievement 1 verified / Newborn" or something similar but I see nothing like that on my account or posts.

So I wonder if I missed something even after re-reading the achievement assignment post by @cryptokannon, along with a few others that I see have not received such a verification either, some as long as 6 days. I guess it doesn't really matter as it isn't a requirement to use steemit and I can go post in communities that I am interested in and not worry about the achievements but, I wanted to give it all an honest shot and learn in the structured setting.

Just something I've noticed, but I can still learn about it all as I go along.

Thanks again!
