This is why I think we need a Developmental area. There is another Wash Out thread under VRA where a lot of other people have chimed in on about their wash out stories.

I do know some of the people on that thread were re hired a year or two later for another option.

Good luck.

The most important thing is to be proactive and find a place that is willing to pick you up. Plenty of people washout and go make it at lower facilities.

Yeah, I heard a ZOA guy still on probation got Elmyra NY simply because he found a place that would take him.

Thats why I said ACK, every washout I have talked to (about 10), that has been offered "3" facilities, its usually ACK, Puerto Rico, and like Alabama.

Pretty much all you can do now is research, call facilities, network. Do it like your job depends on it!

Do not listen to that about ACK. Do not take ACK. The cost of living is outrageous and not worth it. If you do the legwork and call up other facility managers and explain your situation, then you will likely be able to get one to accept you and hire you and help you out. There are options out there. Just make sure to make it your priority to do work to get what you want! Good luck!
