First, please allow me to express my gratitude to all of you for your patient and generous sharing of experience/information. I've been 'lurking' for a few months now and have soaked up quite a bit. I'm trying to avoid asking questions that have been previously asked/answered, but am glad to see how gracious y'all are with 'newbies'.
I'm scheduled to attend Sheffield for the October 2013 class (I would have signed up for the August class, but work would not allow me to get away that soon). While I do have an aviation background, I've been working outside of the industry for the last five years (and I'm very ready to come 'home'!)
I'm presently living/working at the Reagan Missile Test Range on Kwajalein Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands. While it's been a grand adventure, it's time to come home (both professionally and physically). Living on a tiny spec in the middle of the Pacific has a definite upside; there are also challenges to being so remote.
If any of you are curious or are interested in trying it, start here: <redacted bad link> ; then hit me with your questions. You can also search jobs here by location: https://chugach.tms.hrdepartment.com/cgi-bin/a/searchjobs_quick.cgi. They do have Dispatchers (though not certified).
I'm very excited and can't wait for October! Meanwhile, I content myself with this page and studying for the written.
Again, Thanks everyone!
