That is correct they will meet you in the lobby around 7 and walk you to a room, where somebody will write down all of the bases and the equipment available at each base. They will collect your required documents stated in the letter you received except for the check(You don't need a check in actuality, just the routing number and account to set up direct deposit). They will give a quick introduction and then bidding begins say no later than 715 starting with the oldest person and ending with the youngest person. The bidding is just them calling out your name and you yelling back the base and equipment. Lasts no longer than 5-10 min depending on class size.
Good luck getting what you want, and keep in mind atm there is alot of movement so there is a chance of bidding into another base before you end training if you did not get the base you want. Also if you want a jet and end up in an ATR there is only a 1 yr seat lock then you can transition. Once you get a Jet Slot you are locked until you Upgrade so choose wisely.
