This is what scares me. I went to my flight physical in RI. I met with other Sgts from Manhattan, and Syracuse. In my office (Albany, NY), 13 kids applied for this summer slot, 2 got accepted. In Manhattan, 15 kids applied, 1 was accepted. In Syracuse, the Sgt just said it was "Really really competitive". Its tight. But my OSO told me not to bug out. Once again, alot of ground applicants, alot less slots. 2nd, My OSO said Manhattan might have less competitive applicants. 3rd, the summer is more competitive to get in. The fact that we're aviation contracts is a big advantage. Just dont stress, just stay in shape and prep up for as if you'll get in. (But I wont lie, its hard for me to practice what Im preaching). -reaper
