If it weren’t for the fingernails, I would’ve swore that was your dick, @Biff_T

Excellent post by @FDNYOldGuy well said and laid out clearly. To @DeskDriver2023: you seem to have a good attitude. Keep grinding. I know it’s a very frustrating process, if you’re wanting to fly anything painted grey and paid for by Uncle Sam, apply everywhere. Most will agree the ANG is the best of what’s left. If heavies are interesting to you, I’d highly recommend you enlist as a Loadmaster, Boom Operator or some other enlisted flying position. My buds in ANG heavy units will all agree the best chance of getting picked up there is be a bro who they’ve flown with. Hang in there, happy hunting.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but a year and a half of rushing is just getting started. I know it seems like an eternity, while in your 20’s, but if you’re a gov employee, as you stated, then you certainly should understand the glacial pace the system moves in. Have you interviewed anywhere more than once? You do realize that guard units typically select pilots only once per year? So in a year and a half you haven’t even been through the cycle more than once. Other than that, the advice offered to all the others on similar threads still holds true: -Widen your net (Heavies, Reserves, USAF, USN, USMC) -Enlist in the unit -Practice your interview skills -Get more flt time -Polish up your resume -Network

Are helo pilots naturally more creative, or something? Those patches are better than all the others posted on here…Skid marks cracked me up.

How fitting with your screen name.

Exactly! Throw in a couple more Chinese hot air balloons and you’ll be giving Dick Bong a run for his money.

Good Old Lawman, such a jovial guy, finds a way to turn every conversation into some weird, unsolicited, dick measuring contest. I know an Air Force TACP who killed a bunch of guys with his rifle. That’s way more dead guys than a lot of Army Infantry dudes have killed…See how obnoxious that sounds? Anyway, always loved this story. Air America UH-1 with an air to air kill on an AN-2. https://theaviationgeekclub.com/incredible-story-air-america-uh-1d-huey-shot-north-vietnamese-2-colt-biplane/

Damnit @Biff_T if you’d stayed in, flying helos, you could’ve been an ace!! 3 or 4 times over, I’m guessing.

Someone from finance told you all to do this?? My finance rejects my DTS voucher if it’s off by a nickel!!

Yessir. Well past time.

How dare Texas attempt to enforce federal law since the federal gov refuses to do it…Unfuckin believable.

Damn Bro! You DL guys put a space in the word airline even when it makes absolutely no sense!! Thanks for the chuckle!

Well done Texas!! https://www.breitbart.com/news/supreme-court-lifts-stay-on-texas-law-that-gives-police-broad-powers-to-arrest-migrants-at-border/ And I suppose the SCOTUS as well, sad that common fucking sense needs to be heard ruled on by the highest court.
