@Cheddar and @GlassEmpty
Just wanted to swing by to say that as a current 130 guard type applying to Grissom, when I typed Grissom into the search bar this was the first thread other than assignments. So, basically, yes, there are people who are considering AFRC/ KC-135 jump using this to partially inform their decision.
Appreciate the candid discourse though. 4 month deployments or not, the grass still looks pretty green over there to me : D
