Hiring Bid Air Traffic Control Specialist - Trainee: FAA-ATO-18-ALLSRCE-57792

I was gonna say, unless you're single with no family and mortgage/rent obligations, I'd say it's doable.
I hope I get at least a month to plan my life out. Put my house on the market, pack my stuff, quit my job, take a short vacation before I dedicate the rest of my life to the government...
I think I got the call three weeks ahead of my class date last year.
 
Make sure you know the difference between being confident and cocky especially when you start radar. It's easy to think your doing well while bombing a run I've noticed Non radar is easier to see how well your doing.

Oh for sure, wasn't meaning to come off as cocky, but I am confident that this is what I'm going to do with my life and that I am fully capable of recognizing what I need to do to pass and doing it. I refuse to give anything less than my all for something this important.
 
Yeah, I'm from the Dec 18 prior experience bid. When did you do your medical?

Medical was sometime in Feb, sent some supplementary stuff early March, then............. silence. Checked in with Med POC in April and she said waiting on the flight surgeon. I guess my wait hasn't been as long as some others but it just kinda sucks to see a lot of people getting class dates and stuff while we're stuck waiting lol

Yeah, it’s shitty.

I did all my medical requirements the beginning in April and I’m still waiting for the FS to approve them.

Finished all of mine in February, still no authorization from FS. What sucks is, my employer is looking to surplus some workers and "pay" them out, I really want to jump on it but I don't have an idea as to when medical clearance will come, so there goes a good chunk of money :/

Yeah, it sucks trying to plan around this shit. I’m working a contract tower in CA right now and I’m just breaking even on bills and shit once I factor in rent and everything else. So, I think I’m just gonna be unemployed until this get approved.

I’ve never had any medical issues, so I don’t see why it won’t get approved.

Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but being unemployed may affect your conditional security clearance. I can see them making a huge fuss about it. Could be wrong tho.
Edit: don't listen to me, I don't know shit lol

Why would that have any bearing at all? Lol

I’m already conditionally cleared. I’ve been investigated two times since the beginning of the year. I’m not worried about that at all.
