Grande said:I don't have an academy date yet but I am also coming from California. My plan is to drive out there over 3 days 2 nights. First night stay in Flagstaff, then completely skip through NM (cuz eff that) and stay a night in amarillo then next day a short 4 hour drive to okc. The idea is to not have to drive for more than 8 hours.
I see ABQ/ZAB in your future.

I was about to say... this guy treats NM the way I treat AL. Whenever I travel, I stop to pee and get gas right before the border and don't stop until I'm out. I've only been to NM a few times, but I thought it was lovely.
I emailed and called CG with no answer lol, first time that it has happened to me. So they must be really busy. The waiting is brutal because I have the lease I don't want to renew, and I have a promotion available with my current gig. Tough spots but hopefully we are all hanging tough out here.
Did everyone receive their TOL from CG?

Asked about increasing class sizes. CG said:
Unfortunately, we’re not sure yet. Once the ATO provides us with the updated class listings for FY22, we’ll find out. We’re still waiting for updates on that.
Anyone with insight: what would you estimate the average age of your basics/academy classes have been? Recently turned 23 and wondering if I'm too young (or you know, just not mature enough in life) to start applying to the next bid. I know everyone's different and the hiring process can drag on for months-years, but just curious about the average starting ages of people for this career.

Ur the perfect age. And it might take you 8 years. Dont give up any opportunities. It look me like 5 years to get hired.

My group is like 25-30 I think
but age is just a number. If you’re on here, you’re already ahead of the curve and it’s not too early. Just take it seriously when you get in and you’ll be fine.

I stayed in some podunk town in NM on my way to OKC and on my way back home I decided to drive all 13 hours straight so that I didn’t have to stay in NM overnight again. Good call.

For what it’s worth I was hired at 20 on my second attempt, my class was between 24-31 other than me, and had mostly had to wait through multiple bids to get in. I definitely don’t regret applying, all you need is to be able to take the academy seriously and you’ll be fine!

Our class ranged from 19-29 and both extremes made it. Enough maturity and discipline to ask questions when you don’t understand something and to work on things you need to get better at is all that matters.
Expect CIL paperwork sent out by next Friday due to new OTS bid opening up at the end of the month.
