Thanks for all the reply's...it peaked my curiosity as to how they screen Mil applicants...I suppose the lengthy paper trail that follows us allows for the screening right up front....now to continue speculating why many of the single seat military guys are getting flagged...we are special...."ed" that is.

Started day with 9 mil and 6 regional:
1 Regional non-hire
3 mil non-hire (F-15, T-6 and Navy S-3)
They all seemed pretty sharp to me, but you don't see what goes on behind the door. Sad sight to see them take the walk of shame at the end of the day. I heard one was for the panel interview, and no idea on the other three.
Interview prep may have been lacking with some of the non-hires. In my opinion, it's a huge gamble to go in without it.

Regarding the questions 'which interview prep is best' or 'which interview prep should I use':
I've heard similar things regarding the common three (Aero, Emerald and Cage).
Those that used service X and were hired said it was the best money they ever spent and highly recommend that service to all future interviewees. The folks that used the same service but were unsuccessful said that they didn't get 'enough' out of it, or that it was not worth the money/effort.
It may be worth doing more than one service to get a couple of reviews of your interview posture/skill/app/resume. If you feel great after one, roll with it. If you aren't sure you're ready, do a second/third service or re-do the one you did first. It's all about going into the interview being comfortable with yourself, and confidence that you are prepared.
Some folks feel confident going in without any prep. You have to decide.

Or...it could be that the guys that were unsuccessful were going to be unsuccessful no matter which prep they used. Too many cooks spoil the soup. I'd be wary of possibly getting conflicting guidance that may end up hurting your chances. I (and most of my friends) used Cage successfully. All 3 seem very professional and capable. Find someone you're comfortable with, stick with them and give it your best shot. Just my $.02. YMMV
