Has anyone received any interview requests yet? Or completed an interview? I know it's fair game until about March 4th, but just curious to hear how things seem to be ramping up for everyone. If you did, which sponsoring facilities?

I've been so anxious about receiving an email regarding an interview too, I have not seen anything as of now,

Nothing yet. Still anxiously awaiting as well.

What facility did you choose? I chose Dahlgreen in Virginia as my number 1

I just chose the facilities that were prepopulated for me. My number 1 was Eglin AFB.

I just got called for an interview with my number 1, the Missile Defense Agency!

Congrats! Mind sharing your year/stats?

I have not gotten an interview yet, but did do a call of sorts. Thought I'd let you all know anyways if anyone had similar experiences. I had been reaching out during Oct-Dec to see if I could get more information on what research the SFs I was looking at were doing and while looking around for information the CBRN executive lab reached back out and we had a call. I do not plan to be on the management side but they were very helpful with getting information about who does what and where. I've also been emailing back and forth with the CBC CBRNE lab in Maryland with Nicole R. for some more information about how to possibly segway into the program but I doubt I will be getting an interview with them since she did mention they usually prefer grad students or people who have done AEOP etc... related programs. That info might help out if anyone is in that sort of bracket hopefully.

Does anyone know any contacts at the infectious disease lab? (USAMRIID) I can't remember if they are an SF or not but I did want to ask some general research questions and was not able to get any replies. Also if anyone here is on the CBRN-E defense side lmk what SF you are at and how it is

Congratulations gitmogged!!!

thanks! as for stats^: junior at uni, 3.57 gpa, electrical engineering major, extensive internship experience incl. have interned on base (Redstone Arsenal)

Congratulations gitmogged!! When you did the interview (if you did), were there multiple people on the call with you or just a couple?

there were like 10 ppl on the panel! was kind of nerve wracking but I just got notified that I made it through the first round and have a second round interview coming up! also have another interview with a different SF as well, but I'm really crossing my fingers my first choice

Good luck on your next round of intreview!
