AF_ATC.

You wil NOT have the time to become a quality ATCer without sacrificing your officer career. You will come down to the radar room (or up to the twr), and the whole atmosphere will change because you are "the boss". To go so far as you WILL NOT be held to the same standard.

After you get checked out, you will only have enough time to stay proficient... so prepare for an ass kicking when ya get to the FAA. Since you will pretty much have less experiance than someone coming from a quality CTI school.

BUT: best of luck.

Oh and if I sound like im being a douche, well that happens... lol... but I'm just trying to be COMPLETELY, BLATENTLY HONEST WITH YOU... especially since once you get commisioned you will never get that again.
