I know the SF-86 asks for a decade of employment history, but does every one of your previous employers get a letter? I think I read somewhere that they only check in with employers from the last five years. Can anyone enlighten me?
Every time this thread gets bumped I think someone got an email. I need to chill lol
I believe someone from my bid didn't tell their employer and he got fired when they got the letter. I'm pretty cool with my boss so I told him straight up but no one at my job got a letter that I know.
But like they've said, it's a looooong way. I applied June 14th 2019, and didn't get to that point until January 2020
Man, we have a long way to go. Everyone always says apply and move on with your life and they are correct. I would assume we still have a few weeks before we even get to ATSA invites.Haha, me too! This your first time applying? Its my first time and I've already driven myself crazy waiting for first contact so that we can take the ATSA and get it out of the way lol?

Fingers crossed for all of us on this bid. I've never been so excited but nervous for something. I've never wanted anything so badly until this. Finally met the requirements to apply. I wish you luck dude! Hope to see you on the other side!
Haha right? Now i'm on my third bid questioning everything i've ever done.....I remember being this optimistic..how I miss those days of excitement.

For all the first timers, I’ve got a class date from last bid. Even after the ATSA, even after TOL’s, and even after all your clearances, it’s a hell of a wait. Sit tight, and good luck!
Thanks! I start the 4 months Enroute academy in JulyI'd like to think I could deal with the wait knowing I have TOL. Congrats to you! When do you get to go?

Hoping I get enroute, but I'm happy getting tower or TRACON too. Had a couple friends that are ATCs here at the local center near me and recommend me to it and here I am. Always had a facination with planes but never thought about making it into a career until last year. Then it made sense to me why I never found my passion.
You could be sent to an Up/Down which is a tower and TRACON co-located. No standalone TRACONs are available for academy gras.
