Yeah that's a fair statement, honestly just trying to think about the things I didn't even know to consider. But yeah the Hornets are hurting, word is there is gonna be some depot mx soon to bring readiness up, in addition to getting Navy Legacy Hornets and the addition of Hornets from squadrons transitioning to JSF. Who knows though. Thanks for your insight.

Will be selecting jet platform shortly in the Marines and just thinking long term. Do ANG/AF reserve fighter units care about previous fighter platform much? Wrestling with putting F-35B or Hornets at the top of my selection sheet. Honestly, I think I may want to stay in the Marine Corps for 20, but just curious if I did make the jump if I'd be shooting myself in the foot not trying to get 35's. I would assume that in 8 years there will be many more reserve F-35A squadrons and they would prefer a dude that flew 35-B's. I've also assumed a lot of shit incorrectly in my life so I'm curious of the opinion of anyone in the know.
