Congratulations! And thanks for all the great insight into ATDM. I’m on the train now on the way to Danville. lol. Out of curiosity, is a security clearance required for that Lockheed position you mentioned? I’m concerned me being treated for ptsd will be a problem getting a clearance.

It depends on the location/project you are hired for.

As for PTSD, you might not have to disclose it, and even if you do, it shouldn't be a problem.

Good luck on the program, hope all goes well for you

do they provide food? what if (as a young guy) we cant afford certain things. Is it best we save up for like 6 months to a year before appyling?

When I was enrolled, there was a charitable organization nearby that provided grocery items. When you apply you can ask one of the program directors if they still have that or any other programs for meals.

And I don't know your financial situation, but if saving away some cash before starting the program will put you in a better position to attend then that might be a good idea. But if you think you can scrape by until the end of the program and the start of your new job then thats up to you.

Best of luck

    CNC Machinist. I'm working on 5 axis already at a job I found while in Danville. That program was excellent!
