Hey man, I know you're preparing to leave the AF soon. Have you had any luck with the panels that you've applied for? I'm going overseas later this month for my last duty station where I'm practically guaranteed a CTO. So I'll be able to apply for the CTO panels as well as the VRA ones.
I was just curious as to the luck you've had and any words of wisdom you may have for those (like me) who are pretty new to the whole hiring process and whatnot.
