Hey everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster. I don’t mean to hijack the thread, but didn’t feel it was necessary to start a completely separate thread for this question.

I’m close to finishing up school and becoming eligible for the cadet program. The top two choices are Envoy and Republic. Mainly for their MIA base. Equipment isn’t as important as QOL since I’m married and volunteer in the community.

Before I get attacked for wanting to come to Envoy and become a cadet, here’s my reasoning. I’d like to be a cadet is because I’d get first pick at equipment (who knows, maybe the 175 will be in MIA by the time I go in for NH class?), MIA base, and it’s nice knowing I don’t have to interview again. Having flow isn’t a bad deal either. Whether 5 year or 10 years, I made peace with being a regional for close to a decade no matter where I go.

Any advice would be great on whether I should commit to the cadet program would be great.
