Got my CIL today and noticed that at the bottom it says my HR POC is CG, but on my TOL my HR POC was DP. Didn't know if my rep changed or if CG was handling this portion. CG was also the sender of my EODS forms. Sorry if this has already been addressed, I haven't been on there in a few weeks.

Just out of curiosity, how many other people are like TRULY off the street? Seems like a lot of people may not have ATC experience, but still have some sort of interest or aviation adjacent job. But I dropped out of music school and am currently an insurance agent. Literally 0 aviation background. Anyone else similar?
I'm currently a welder. I also have no aviation background

Welding was actually an option that I thought about for a while. Seems like an interesting trade.

It's a useful skill have, but I don't want to do it for the rest of my life. Too much risk for injury for too little pay

Are your POC's initials (as indicated at the bottom of the TOL) DP?

I've been working in state/local government for about seven years. More recently my work has been building/engineering adjacent, but I think I am at the end of my career development without getting a bachelors degree, so here I am. ?

I am probably in the minority in that I am OTS but also a private pilot here ?.
Seriously you true OTS folks probably have some advantages in your attitudes and lack of preconceptions on things and you probably don't even realize it.
Else I work in tech in the private sector. It's soul crushing but it pays ?. This is also why I don't mind the wait. I don't want to do this for the rest of my life, but during covid lockdowns, it's been a cushy blessing.

#6413 90% of the people in my Academy class and of my coworkers at my facility were true OTS. You're in good company.

So to be clear... It's the second week of the month and there have definitely been NO new class dates sent out? Just want to be certain about how hopeless I should feel.
There were dates sent out in July.

I still think there's a diff between pilots and people who have worked in aviation vs. everyone else.
Not saying it provides a leg up or whether it's an advantage or disadvantage, just saying a difference exists.
