Sorry to leave you all hanging, but I finally received my firm offer from the FAA to attend the Academy in Oklahoma City. I started class late December and will be finishing in early May and off to a center to start my career.
As of right now I have attended about a month of basic training and I am now into my second week of phase two learning about strip marking and separation.
I apologize for such a small post, but if you all would like to know anything else as far as air traffic control goes, feel free to comment below!
