Does Sweden have a really good gaming community? Always been envious of other countries :(

Well, civilian ATC is the best. And if you get the European Air traffic control Licence you can get a job anywhere. Although being an ATC in Sweden sounds great (nice income and with a shorter than average quantity of inbound/outbound flights)
-
BTW, are you applying for Civilian ATC or military? Because military is A LOT more entertaining!
-Interception and Combat controller. Air to ground, air to air missions. Weapons Allocator and Fighter Controler. GBAD (ground based air defence) Manager
-Air Surveillance and Radar management.
-Refueling missions.
-Scramble! Scramble!
-COMAO. Controlling huge groups of aircrafts in combined operations with other countries/armies.
-NATO assingment posibilities if eventually Sweden joins NATO.
-Officer Rank with a nice Air Force uniform (although you would earn much less money and would work harder in the military, and the training is harder) -
My personal opinion about your chances to pass the ATC competitive examination:
[x] English fluency and listening skills using headphones
[x] Nerves made from ice
[x] Hability to stay focused controlling several moving items on a screen
[x] Hability to make decisions
[x] Hability to work in a team
[x] reliability
Definitely you've got all you could need (although I don't know you THAT much). I guess that at least Bachelor Degree is required. Well, I don't know how it works in Sweden, but in Spain, as a Civilian Junior ATC you'd get:
-up to 70000€ per year (I guess that you're gonna get much more than that in SEK)
-30 day holidays, and from 5 to 10 working days a month (depending on the size of your 'team')
-8 hours per day in shifts no longer than 2 hours.
-Lots of labor-rights and labor-syndicate benefits. If ATC go on strike, they can get what they want.
-Nice charisma (almost like a brain surgeon ^_^)
No doubt. YOU MADE THE PERFECT CHOICE -
Good news to read you want to become ATC. I'm actually an admin for the ATC system in Spain (military) and I can tell you is a perfect choice.

No worries, I would not subject people's ears to you singing unless we need it in wartime, haha! :-p
Your new logo would look mighty fine on a air-traffic controller uniform, not going to lie! Glad to see you looking at some other opportunities, but you are a super talented player so I hope you keep up with the gaming as you go along and I hope to see you at some future events kicking ass as you always do! :D -
It's going and going, lol. Was going to make it to Sweden for Dreamhack Winter and stay with Anna, but another trip came up, arrrrrrg. Perhaps some other time I will come up to stay with her and then you and Trito can come over for the so we can make a band on the new Guitar Hero World Tour, w00t!
P.S I get to sing though!! ^_^ -
hey you :-)
