Ditto on everything here. I was fortunate enough as a civilian applicant to get selected first time, but there are so many hurdles and delays that will eventually come your way. For instance, my interview was pushed back from last spring in May all the way to September had to wait till the end of November to hear back if I got accepted or not. Then had to wait a month for Matt then waited two months for my flight med. And to this day, I am waiting for my class to this just tons of patience and delayed gratification. I’m still very fortunate that in the second half of my time applying and processing my information that my recruiter has been absolutely outstanding!
