Hello,
So I've been looking through forums and articles for awhile now trying to figure out the optimal route for a position with the FAA. If there's one thing I've figured out for sure it's that it's not an easy process and there's truly no way of guaranteeing an ATC job with the FAA. That being said, It's a career I'm hell bent on getting into and want to do what it takes to give myself the best possible chances of doing so. It seems to me that my best options are either going into the ANG under an ATC position, serving my time until i get my experience and hoping to get deployed so that I can apply for the VRA bid. Or attending the Advanced ATC school in Georgia to obtain my CTO and then getting hired onto one of their four towers for the 52 weeks needed to apply for the previous experience bid. Thank you in advanced for any advice and or help.
