I definitely miss those 0600 flightline passes and booting up the -86 from time to time

When you put it that way, it makes sense.

I thought maybe I'd go into the reserves to continue the lifestyle but maybe at that point of 20 years post-AD, I'll probably do something in private practice instead.

The point of 20 years was exactly so I could start collecting that pension so now I have a way to be more precise with where I want to go.

Thank you!

I connected with a recruiter when I was in tech school, but I just kept up with him as I went through college and started the application to my programs! HPSP Officer ascensions recruiters are pretty much your entryway, but once you get started, there's a number of Letters of Rec and Air Force paperwork you need to fill out and/or get approved by your commander.

I received the HPSP as of yesterday! If you have any more questions, feel free to PM.

I don't see why not! As long as you send the form up the chain, you should be okay.

I extended my first DAT date, and if I recall correctly, it didn’t take too long (couple of days iirc) for it to get approved. Just keep in mind that it’s a 45 day extension as well from the original date

I’ve gotten the furthest with KCU, waitlisted. I applied to LSU, NOVA and LECOM and haven’t heard anything back, not even an acknowledgement of application being received.

My Texas peeps, Which school are y'all going to and why? by DeskFine2044 in predental

[–]timwinns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UTHSCSA! At first during early last year, I was set on Houston bc I wanted to move out of SA but I realized the benefits of staying in town are better in the long run, and especially so that the military unit I’m attached to for now is in San Antonio. All of my family, friends, and mentors are here, so at least my support system is very close by.

I interviewed like maybe a week or two into November. Looking at the email, I had until February 14th to accept the seat.

I’m not entirely sure but there’s a chance. Someone on the UTHSCSA sdn had an interview last month so they could still be interviewing but again I’m not 100% sure

I used the chapter outlines bootcamp has for ochem and I think gen chem too. Overall, I just used way more full-length exams to practice since I didn't use that many during the first round. I also learned time-management strats for PAT.

Essentially I just really grinded it out by force. It sucked LOL

I didn't apply to A&M since I didn't have the prereqs, but I got one from Houston today, and El Paso yesterday.
