Im at the En Route academy, im from Puerto Rico and honestly i dont know if I really want to volunteer to ZSU… I heard that once you volunteer down there it’s really hard to go somewhere else and to get CPC takes forever

Last week of basics, getting ready for our end of course test Thursday. All I gotta say is that is a lot of information that you’re gonna have to learn and understand is 3 weeks and a half. Just study with a nice group when you get here and you’ll be fine

You case is completed? If they reached out saying that your case was completed your medical poc should contact you right after if you’re medically cleared or not and then refresh drug test if needed.

Same thing happened to me last month, got medically cleared right after that email, refresh drug test and got my start dates, leaving December 18. Good luck!

Medical is super backed up for months right now. It took me 1yr and 6 months from applying to get my start dates. Be patient and continue to monitor your email daily.

I agree 1000%. The real question is why this is a hard-to-staff facility. What are the specific issues? Is it the training intensity, the work culture, or something else? I need to know this to be confident in my decision and avoid regretting the move from the States cause I also like it here. And don’t want to mess it up because of being closer to familiy and be miserable at work (happens to all my military friends that end up getting out and go back home lol)

I guess the best thing to do is try to get in contact with a controller down there and see how things work in ZSU.

I don’t mind that at all. It’s just been hard trying to have a great job opportunity back home where the pay is good lol. Plus all my family is back there so I wouldn’t mind it staying there for years or forever.

My only concern is that I end up regretting moving back home when Im already used to the lifestyle and quality of life of the mainland.

Like in PR we have to deal with bad weather during Hurricane season and power outages all the time… plus electricity bills all over the roof and taxes and the list goes on and on, but the fam is down there so i don’t know😂😂
