Yikes

Seems like most peoples reaction. I’m going to try and stay positive. I’ve been waiting for this day for the last 7yrs.

Prior radar only. I’ve applied to several towers and DOD slots for the heck of it. No bites.
In the process of exploring a change of career field. Code for just applying to random jobs to keep the bills paid.

If you wanna come to CYS we have openings. Would have to be a dual status but it's good pay and not a bad gig. PM me if you have questions.

 

[TushingPin]

Thank you. I have talked to a few buddies that put that higher on the list. I live in Texas and am doing contract work in El Paso. I miss having trees and seasons. From what I can gather you should aim to get in the region that you want to work. Ultimately I’d like to end up in Pittsburg.

Pittsburg? Or Pittsburgh?

Pittsburg? Or Pittsburgh?

Sorry misspelled. Pittsburgh PA is where I would ultimately like to end up.

I received the same list mentioned above.

Question about transfers: If you get checked out at a TWR how hard is it to transfer to an up/down, if/when available (with no prior radar experience)?

All depends on staffing at your facility, staffing at where you want to go, and luck.

Pretty sure everyone who received this list will have DSM in their top 3. This list doesn't have a whole lot of good options.

Looks like the next round of lists is out. I really was hoping to move back north east but very few options. Are there any hidden gems on this list I may have written off?

If I were you I would put SMF on the top if you enjoy CA. I may be biased because I’m from there but it’s a good taste of city life, if you want, but also a lot of nature just a short drive away. Housing has gone up but still no where near as expensive as the Bay Area. The pay is decent and they don’t do an insane amount of ops. If you have any questions about the area

Sooo.. the 12 people at Beaumont?
there are no feeder facilities there is only zuul ncept

When we hear back who gets what; is it possible to switch assignments with someone in the same pool?

Asking for a friend …

 

[GulfBravoPapa]

No

 

[TSTS]

Brandon is probably the best spot to live along with Madison, but Madison is a bit of a drive. Flowood would be another good option with good schools. I know a couple of people there if you have any questions.
