Disagree with the last part here....I'd say maybe you have a 50% chance at MOST of getting an interview. I've been to two...did well and had great conversations and haven't heard anything. Very competitive record and I got calls elsewhere. I also know plenty of people who did not get an interview and went. Just throwing it out there if you plan on dishing out tons of money to get there. It will definitely increase your chances but by no means is it a sure thing.

Priority for ViB attendees goes to vets that have not attended before. If there's still open slots after that, some others will be invited as well. Was a great event for a newby. Over 200 attendees were there and they saved 50 interview slots from selected Vets in Blue attendees. So it's well worth it and everyone got 10 minute at the end with a recruiter to pitch yourself. With over 3000 applicants every time they open the hiring window, it's very competitive. Was well worth the expense for me to attend and a great overall experience.
