I had a question about the hiring process anyone that knows a good bit of info on it a reply would be greatly appreciated, so i enlisted in 2015 doing air traffic control for the USMC, I selected pool 1 for the veterans preference but since Im not 30% disabled I'm a 5 point vet right? does my 4 years of experience doing air traffic control help my odds or is the veterans preference about the only help I'm going to get from that. like is it just checks in a box or do they read the applications to determine whose the most qualified applicants? (side note: i wasn't able to get my CTO which is why I have to go with an OTS bid, due to a mix of field ops deployments and training delays took me 3 and a half years but I finally made it to Local and my 100% check ride was scheduled for march 2020 and well due to covid my training was stopped and I was to ride out my contract working the positions I was qualified on as part of crucial manning.
