Hello everyone!
Im a cti student and would be graduating in Dec 2010. Ive been thinking about possibly pursuing ATC in the Air National Guard instead of cti. I feel like there will be more to be learned and I will gain actual controlling experience which is far more important than anything at cti school, while getting paid rather than doing the cit route and learning on sims and learning theory. I realize that the reserves, before im eligible to apply VRA, may take a little bit longer (wouldnt be too much longer). I believe I have to do basics, tech school, than a year at my facility/base. Then a voluntary deployment is required to get the veterans preference and apply under VRA.
I was just wondering what every one thought of the switch? Pros and cons? What do you guys think? Would it be smart?
Thanks alot for your input!
