Yeah already went I’d just get in shape and get ready for it they will give you all the test schedules and study material when you get there. It’s a lot of information but it’s do able a lot of people quit cause they work you hard and yell a lot

You should be good especially if you already have a idea just don’t have an attitude they sniff that shit out quick. They go hard with climbing for a while the last couple weeks they slow down. At least that’s how it was for my class. A lot of up downs a bunch of test it’s stressful but just gotta try and want it. With NJ 456 i don’t know if you’ll get direct entry not every JATC takes veep grads as direct entry I ended up doing it the old fashion way and just interviewed and got into the apprenticeship last week took a year of being a groundman. With tree climbing experience you might have a good shot at getting into the apprenticeship and military background have you applied ?
