My wife has a new-with-tags 1995 AF-issue Saddlery A-2 jacket in size 36L that has been sitting unworn in the closet for decades.  It has always been too large for her. Jacket is in as-new condition, although a little wrinkled from being boxed up and taken on 8 PCS moves since '95 and sitting in long-term storage while OCONUS.

She would like to try and trade it for a smaller AF issue A-2, preferably 34R or 34S.

If not interested in a trade and you have one you'd rather sell, I'm open to that, too.

Thanks!

Has a tiny nick on the face, barely noticeable. Comes with USB cable for charging and data sync. Works for fitness tracking as well as flight tracking. Fighter playback ranges from unusable to slightly worse than ACMI. I imagine it would be awesome in a heavy aircraft. Has WAAS, can interface via Bluetooth to your EFB. My favorite feature is the customize-able cabin pressure altitude warning, works for ascent and descent. The nice thing about this watch vs the D2 Bravo or D2 Charlie is that it can operate completely stand-alone (ie without your phone).

     I am new to the forum and had a couple questions about the lifestyle of Guard/Reserve mobility pilots.  I'm an Army officer (about to make O3) with 6 years in the guard, and I've heard that the AF pilot age has been extended to 33.  I have always wanted to fly fixed-wings (no military aviation experience currently, I come from a CBRN background), and have been considering applying AF Guard/Reserves units when my Guard contract ends in 2 years.  I have a couple questions about the lifestyle of Guard/Reserves Cargo or Tanker pilots, and I would really appreciate it if someone with knowledge in these areas could share some of their experience.  Thank you for your responses and advice in this subject!

1)  What is the average number of hours you will fly per week or month once finished with training?

2)  How far do people typically live from the unit?  How easy is it to switch between states/units if needed?

3)  What are the typical deployment cycles/rates?

Planned on turning it into an awesome glass top coffee table or large wall mirror, but we just don't have the space or time for it right now. First $2k takes it. I *may* be able to figure out a way to get it to you via air if you're not in the NW Florida area. Thanks!
