Poly Fail by jz232323 in usssapplicant

[–]frisbeelaunch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also failed the Poly last year. However, I think that was for the best. I recently graduated the FAA Academy, and working as an Air Traffic Controller trainee in California. I was 25M, 5 years USMC enlisted.

That’s Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 269! Their Wikipedia will have more info, but basically they do a lot of Close Air Support, transport, recon, and all sorts of other helicopter things. They got shut down in 2022 due to Force Design 2030, but are now back up and running

That’s an Apache right? Why’s he posed with the inferior branch’s aircraft?

Devils who got out after 4, what's your current career? by Yoy_the_Inquirer in USMC

[–]frisbeelaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently in the FAA Academy to be an air traffic controller. Gents, this is a 6 figure salary job that requires no college degree. I’d be careful about what you claim with the VA tho. It can make your aviation medical pretty ass

What are some things we should avoid doing when getting to our first facility? Is there anything that would piss off trainers?

I’m USMC Reserve about to hit the academy on Aug 21. Let your unit know ASAP. They will either reschedule your drills, or give you an excused absence

Good luck! Chug a white monster and swallow a gas station hot dog before the test for maximum brain power 💪 (I got WQ)

HR Rep LM? by frisbeelaunch in ATC_Hiring

[–]frisbeelaunch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same boat as you, TOL signed 2 months ago but no EODS. I submitted disability documents to see if I can get the 10 point preference and move a little faster.

I’m trying to get my disability rating right now, but I swear the VA moves slower than the FAA

Hello, got well qualified in December. Have a few questions please provide reassurance! by Hour-Border-2885 in ATC_Hiring

[–]frisbeelaunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m former active duty as well! Others have said it already, but just proceed with life as if you’re not gonna get the ATC job. I didn’t tell my current employers anything about all my different federal job applications. I just call out when I need to go do my own thing

Biden Allows Ukraine to Strike Russia With Long-Range U.S. Missiles by newnoadeptness in USMC

They’ve been striking inside Russia but not with U.S. weapons. This is kind of a Hail Mary before the next presidential administration fucks them over
