Question for more experienced applicants
Hey Everyone
I need your guys help. So I went to college for Aviation Management and Operations and did the ATCTI courses as well. I applied for the 2015 OTS bid, took the ATSA and received my TOL the morning the very first day they sent them out. I got everything completed immediately, got my security clearance, my medical, did the MMPI...the only thing is there were a couple questions I answered on the bio that they didn’t like. So I have to meet with a Psychologist of their choosing for an 8 hour session to go over everything. After that, the psychologist determined I was depressed(his opinion, and I usually agree with doctors). But when we met, I had just finished a 24 hour shift as a dispatcher, I had 3 hour drive to and from work than a 3 hour drive to meet the psychologist, by the time I got there I was already up over 31 hours and was exhausted. I explained that to him even. The FAA medical examiner said I could get the testing redone at my expense, which I tried. The only issue was no one in my state even did the entire rest because it’s outdated. So I would’ve had to travel plus pay $5k for the test which would’ve been hard to do. I’m just wondering if I wait and apply for the next OTS bid if I have even a slight chance of getting accepted again? Anyone with experience in this? And if anyone knows when the next OTS bid is? Thanks in advance.
