I'm in the current hiring process on stand by for CPAT. Next hiring you will need to reapply if you don't get picked this time through is June 2017. Another thing is vet preference is important and you need a 100 on the test or above to be competitive. I got a 93 and I'm 18,111. Back door it in through ems and you stand a better chance.
