I mean of that list, cleveland would be 1 or 2 for me. Split with Madison. But I have like 20 friends at ZOB I grew up in akron and I have cousins in Cleveland.

Actually played pickup basketball with him while he was in high school at St. V and I was in elementary in Barberton. And we have the same birthday.

For all the hate that Cleveland gets, people sure want to go there. I'm from there as well!

CMH is the real hidden gem of ohio. ATOH is already going back to sonewhere in the motherland.

Maybe that's why it's next to impossible to get to any of the Ohio facilities.

Its not impossible. It just takes some time. Look for some people bailing on CMH if they don't go back to a 9 and their save pay runs out.

How long does it take to find out what facility you were selected for after sending your survey back?

This my list. Any suggestions? I wanted to stay west coast, but if anyone knows anything as far as quality of life or the facility itself it could really help me out. I'm living in socal right now.CaptainObvious

Help my naive east coast self out, is Fresno not west enough? Or is the middle of CA no different then Montana to you SoCal guys?
In terms of facilities...
Gulfport has a nice new tower/TRACON, the majority of controllers there have no intention of leaving so it could be easier to transfer out later. Bad news is you live in Gulfport.
Southbend - Last I checked their training program is notoriously awful. They have some trainees that have taken 6 years to certify because part of their certification process was you have to effectively work a Notre Dame game. Only a handful of home games a year, mess up, try again next year.
@MJ can give you the Midland scoop
If you narrow it down to a short list you can PM me for contact info of guys that work there.

I decided to put Madison as my #1. My list looked identical to a lot of others'. Anyone have any information on the facility/quality of life?

I'm pretty sure they get some fun traffic with F16s from the ANG units (if my memory serves me correct). It can be quite a party city when school is in session, and a really nice and interesting downtown tucked between 2 lakes. Cheese curds are delicious. I havent been back there in a long time but the cost of living should be way cheaper than Milwaukee or Chicago which are both pretty close.
