AWAC training is awesome. They put us up in hotels for almost 2 months and get you where you need to be for it. Indoc is actually pretty difficult in ATW. Mike makes it challenging and the test aren't a walk in the park. Systems is a breeze. Chris is awesome. Just grab a few beers with your class mates, chill out by the pool and go over everything that happened in class and start to quiz each other. The CLT Amerisuites is the best hotel for training. They take VERY good care of AWACers

Sim is fun. My instructor is my check airmen at the same time. He is really thorough and makes sure we are ready to be sent out of the line well in advance of the check ride.

Bases go either way. ORF is going to be shrinking. It's really is a toss up between DCA and PHL. I think if you want either one of them you can get there within 2 months of starting if your awarded a base you don't want.

Good luck on your interview! I hope you get the job!
