A colleague of mine said in the interview that he would only accept a position on the Republic certificate and not Shuttle or CHQ. He also said the tone of the interview changed dramatically. He said he was interested in one particular base and that base only. He was offered a position on the Republic certificate.

I believe I said that I was interested in the Republic certificate due to bases, but that'd I'd be open to the other certificates, and I was not offered a position.
