PEPC Thursday

R10 · April 8th, 2008, 14:45

I have the PEPC on Thursday this week. The question of the day is: Jacket or no jacket? I have a really nice french cuff shirt w/ tie I could wear, or do you think I should go with the jacket and tie?

I would wear the jacket and tie. This is supposed to be the most important interview of your life.

That was my first thought, but I didn't want to see overdressed or anything.

I'll see you there buddy, I'm going with the suit & tie though....

I went and didnt wear a jacket. You won't be overdressed. Almost everyone else there had on a jacket.

How many people should I expect there? I talked to Teri Owens and she said they are going to have to drive us in to ATL to do the medical checks?

I went the last day of the Miami PEPC and there were about 20-25 people. I got out of there by 1230. I was one of the first people out though so I don't know exactly how long. Pretty easy process and very well organized.

Sounds like I am going to have LOTS of time before my flight then. I don't leave until 9pm!!

I read in some article posted here that the PEPCs are limited to around 20 people.

I was at ATLTRACON for PEPC on Tuesday 4/8 I would wear a jacket at least if not a suit. Yea its kind of informal but this IS the most important day in your career. Go to medical first right after they give you the interview section. Be prepared to answer questions about working with a team when you did/didn't reach a set goal. Thats the hardest ones but its not that bad just don't say I don't know. I got lucky and got a prior navy lady and she was totally cool with me since I'm in the Airforce. I got my tentative offer and now just waiting on the final. I'm sure I'm going to get one.

Everything went well. I am going to Sioux City (SUX) which is good because I should be able to check out quickly and evaluate if we want to relocate again.

Wassup R10! I was down there on the 10th and I found out I'm going to be at Cedar Rapids. Same deal, small airport, quick checkout time.....

This question is kind of off subject and might require a new thread but for some reason the site wont let me start one so here goes.

I am supposed to go to the PEPC in FT Worth on May 1st for an interview for Iowa. I got a message on my ASAp page today that read...

Referral list FA-AAC-08-10313R: Issued on 04/09/2008 for the Throughout Iowa duty location at the FG-1 grade/payband.

A list of the most qualified applicants has been sent to the office with announcement # AAC-AMH-07-PUBIA-06375. Your application was not included at this time. Please continue to check back for status updates.

Has anyone else gotten this message before and does this mean Im no longer interviewing for Iowa at the PEPC? WHAT IN THE WORLD DOES THIS MEAN?

that's happened to just about everyone who's gotten an interview.

So if you're invited to the PEPC, does that generally mean you are probably going to get a tentative job offer as long as you "pass" everything there?

You will get your tentative offer letter after the interview, which is usually if not always the first step to complete at a PEPC. The letter will inlcude the facility you're referred to, as well as academy pay, and pay upon graduation.
