Welcome to the world of FAA acronyms!

CTI = Collegiate Training Initative. A program at some colleges that helps fast track people through the application process. "Fast" is a relative term here; it still takes months.

VRA = Veteran's somethingoranother. Can't think of it right now, someone else will in a later post I'm sure. The application route for vets, which is faster than CTI but still not too speedy.

OTS = Off the street. What everyone applying to a PUBNAT is, somebody who doesn't have any sort of background in air traffic control. Pilots even have to do this one.

...ask if you hear more. There's plenty of things to confuse newcomers, believe me.
