• Acquire any required documentation—driving records, academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, etc.
• Get the appropriate attire—suit, business casual, or uniform as dictated by the interviewing company
• Schedule a simulator if doing any kind of simulator preparation. This can be very difficult as most sims have very high utilization rates and off the street training slots can be hard to schedule

Don’t show up surprised or unprepared for that multi million-dollar moment…

Albie (or anyone else with the knowledge), what transcripts are required? College/Grad school, or high school too?

What about books to study? I've seen recommendations for Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators--are there other "must read" books to properly prepare?

Lastly, do you recommend joining a professional organization (OBAP or similar)? Is that a waste of time, or is it an important square to fill?

Sincere thanks for your sage advice!
