Anyone Heard Anything??

**Hey Beehive-did your letter indicate you were chosen for SLC TRACON? My email indicated ZLC. Just curious-I was hopiong for tower as I am a weather nut and would rather look outside every now and then. Anyways, what do you know about the PEPC? Have you been contacted since the email stating you were selected for SLC. Just wondered if there will be a PEPC in SLC or what the deal is. Do we pay for that? You are the only other person I know selected for SLC. I have 2 little boys and one on the way in April, so I am trying to decide what to do for OKC if I am indeed offered a job. (Take family, leave family -17 weeks is a long time). I don't mind the FAA being slow as I am so damn busy right now finishing my Meteorology degree at the U of U-4 more weeks!!

-My letter read terminal. They focused more on tower last November so I have a good idea TRACON was my destination.
-I wouldn't expect a PEPC in SLC. Maybe Denver, Las Vegas or L.A. and who knows when or if that will be. I'm doing things the ole fashion way so I don't know much about the one-stop-shop PEPC but you shant have to pay for anything.
-I toured the SLC tower and TRACON this morning, it was a great experience. I caught some crap for being a TRACON applicant in the tower, but it's all love. They offered me a donut and I replied "no thanks". The supe says, "he's definitely not a tower guy". Down in the dark dungeon they call a TRACON one controller says, "Nice tie. Do you want to be a supervisor?" Once again, it's all love. It seemed like everybody had a cup of coffee in their hand and everyone was open and was willing to answer all my questions with honesty.
-Being away from family for that long would be rough. You can take them with you but i've read it can be hard to study with the distraction(s). I'm leaving my family here but I will only be gone for a couple months.
-Great job with the Meteorology degree.
