Hey guys,
I am currently 3 months from separating active duty as a controller and have a TOL ready and waiting for when I get out (prior experience bid, no schoolhouse). I want to get the hiring process started ASAP but HR says I can't get medical/security clearances until I return to the US (currently stationed in England). Has anyone been in my position before? Can I get a Class 2 physical from an FAA AME in Europe somewhere (there are many listed on the faa.gov website) and have the results sent to an AME in the states for verification and so I can get started? I don't really want to fly back to the US just for a medical exam. If it isn't at all possible, how long did the pre-employment process take for those of you who were prior military? Any info or comments would be greatly appreciated as I just want an estimated timeline for this transition. Thank you all!
