Hey all, superrr late bloomer here, but just received a TOL!! I’m beyond elated!! Anyone know about how long the clearance process takes overall? It’s esentially just medical and a background investigation, correct? Hoping to receive my CIL by next week sometime.
First time applicant and no experience in Air Traffic Controller stuff (very green). Just got out of college with an engineering degree. Wish me luck.
