Is there anyone trying to stay at STT? I feel like everyone not from there (which I understand is most of your facility?) is trying to get out!
So you don't want to ERR and you're pretty much set on waiting for a swap? You do you I guess.Although I understand that it might not happen any time soon, can someone PM me the contact info for the individual that may want to swap to STT.

Not the case.. I am in fact putting in for NCEPT. The problem is, there are nine other controllers at my facility that are also putting in requests. There are only eleven of us total. That should answer your question as well vectorwagon.So you don't want to ERR and you're pretty much set on waiting for a swap? You do you I guess.

NO... Not really. I actually sent my wife and kid to VA after both CAT 5 hurricanes. Although they both are suffering depression disorder and anxiety from all that they have been through, mind you we have only been in STT for just over 4 months, I am trying to do things the proper way. I am NOT going to try and cheat the system even though I might be eligible for a hardship regardless. I just heard that someone wanted to try to swap down here. STT is not really great living when it comes to a 4 year old. So, I am trying to please the wife and get off the island. GSO is by no means my first choice. Since joining the FAA, I have always wanted to go to CLT to be honest. Also not trying to sound big headed and full of myself but with my experience, I am beyond lowly level 5 STT. 14 years experience, TRACON rated, multiple CTOs' from much larger DOD facilities..., I am pulling my hair out with how easy and slow it is here. Not meant for a person that wants to control planes like myself. I miss a challenge. Meant for a person that wants one of the easiest jobs in the Administration and relax drinking mojitos on the beach with an umbrella in it.It sounds to me like "your wife took the kid and left to GSO" which would be an almost gauranteed hardship...
Glad that you think a hardship is “cheating the system”. That’s part of the problem and stigma attached.NO... Not really. I actually sent my wife and kid to VA after both CAT 5 hurricanes.

Put in the hardship, bro.No.. I really do get what everyone is saying. I also very much appreciate all insight that has been given. I have learned a tremendous amount just by asking a question on this thread. I have only been in the FAA myself for just over 4 months.. I am still putting in an ERR request to not only this facility. Honestly, just trying to make the Boss a.k.a. Wife happy. Happy wife happy life right?
He wouldn’t be able to prove that she didn’t move just to get a transfer or voluntarily without a divorce or legal separationPut in the hardship, bro.
Probaby not hard to get some form of paperwork started for "proof".He wouldn’t be able to prove that she didn’t move just to get a transfer or voluntarily without a divorce or legal separation

The only thing I may have is there might not be sufficient medical available on the island. Both of my girls are in counseling and my wife was given prescriptions to try and help.Put in the hardship, bro.
I qualified in just about a month before the storms. I am CPC and was given a waiver for CIC because of my previous experience. I have a total of 5 CTOs, multiple Radar qualifications to include TRACON at one of the hardest places to get in the Navy. Been a Sup/FWS/CIC at everywhere I have been the last 10 years or so.
Wife would need to divorce him and take the kid to get the hardship approved post NCEPT. The wife leaving/taking the kid has been the most abused hardship reason post NCEPT. Each region was given guidance to disapprove these hardship requests.Probaby not hard to get some form of paperwork started for "proof".
