I know what it's like to be going into this field w/ a lot of questions...considering I'm in the same boat as a lot of you. We're dealing w/ the gov't here and, come on, they aren't the most direct peeps. So, in an effort to hopefully (maybe?) make someone else's life a bit easier, I will do my best to share my experience of entering into the world of ATC. I can't promise that I will continuously keep this current...but I'm starting out w/ good intentions. Here goes:

I'll be back....

So....my laptop broke down not too long ago and while I wait for a new one I'm bumming off my roomies' laptops. Once I get my new toy in I'll make sure to post a new update about how OKC is going

Finally in OKC!

Posted January 7th, 2009 at 22:33 by homeslice702 (I'll give this writing thing a shot...)

With class starting on Jan 2, I decided to drive down to OKC on New Years' Eve. I wasn't certain how I would be celebrating the new year...just that I would be in OKC. As it turns out, I actually had a decent New Years' and I got my first taste of downtown OKC (pleasantly surprised by what it has to offer). I ended up going to the OKC Thunder basketball game (I didn't even know OKC had a pro team!...but they won their 4th game of the season that night). Afterwards I went out with my new roomie...

An Early Xmas Present...

Posted December 25th, 2008 at 02:46 by homeslice702 (I'll give this writing thing a shot...)

This morning I had a lovely wake-up call from OKC that kind of went something like this:
OKC: Good morning, how are you?
Me: Uh, fine. And yourself?
OKC: Good, thank you. Listen, I have a slot to fill for the Jan 2 class date. Would you be able to do that?
Me: Uh....wha??? Wow...that's like a week away! [Thinking in my head....holy crap holy crap holy crap!!!]
OKC: Yea, we're really trying to get this slot filled up.
Me: Um, yea I can do it.
OKC:...

My brother's adventure with the FAA...

Posted December 6th, 2008 at 23:39 by homeslice702 (I'll give this writing thing a shot...)

So, my younger brother and I ended up both going through the CTI program. He went to UND and I went to ERAU. We also both graduated this last May. (It was my 2nd degree, so technically it was my 2nd time graduating). He got an offer mid-summer for Seattle Ctr and went to the PEPC in Chi-town in...when was it...oh yea, August. Gets done with that and he was told the same as everyone else: you'll hear back from us in about a month.

He waits and waits and never hears back. Being...

Quick "About Me"

Posted November 22nd, 2008 at 00:47 by homeslice702 (I'll give this writing thing a shot...)

Before I quit for the evening, I'll give ya a quick introduction to: myself!

-I am a CTI student: first went to Florida Institute of Technology (I know, it's a mouthful...so FL Tech does just fine) for a degree in Aviation Meteorology. Then I transfered to ERAU for my degree in Air Traffic Mgmt. Obviously, ATC is the path I am embarking on.

-Took my AT-SAT in Daytona in March, passed w/ a 92.6.

-Initially offered Miami ARTCC in early June, but unfortunately...
