    I feel like lots of people would go experimental if there were more 4 place options. Am I crazy?

    Promos up to Maj (since all rated positions are Maj positions)-individual is recommended for promo and signed/submitted by SQ/CC to FSS. Promo then usually goes to JFHQ for state approval. JFHQ then sends to NGB for Fed Rec. Once Fed Rec approved, NGB sends promo order back down thru JFHQ to FSS and SQ/CC. This usually occurs monthly.

    Yes for PV- to include O-5...

    For Ropma all our pilots (4/4)were picked up for O-5 in the recently released ANG board. 2 had pme done, 2 didn’t. The stats will posted at some point but I have a feeling the ANG will continue to promote non pme complete major pilots to O-5 for the foreseeable future. Very different story for AFRC/AD.

    But I kind of like the idea of giving everyone who does well enough in T-6's (and wants fast flyers) a shot in the T-38...

    This already happens... It's called track select- if you don't do well enough in T-6's(tweets) you don't get what you want.

    Do well enough, and you can choose(T-38, T-1, UH-1, T-44(back then)).

    Good luck with your pursuit of an interview, personally I would try to receive more that transmit.

    Anyone have experience getting into the Guard/Reserves as a twice passed over O-3 (or O-4)?

    No personal experience, but we have hired several in the past few years... The passed over O-3s are now O-4s, and the passed over O-4s are now O-5s.

    This is for ANG, but I would venture to say AFRC would be similar.

    ANG UAV to manned mission change

    cuz i wanted to

    The vast majority of states which lost a manned mission to RPA also have another manned flying ANG unit in the state.  The big battle that's a brewing is whether or not a RPA unit sans LRE is deemed an "aeronautical mission" to the airport authorities and the FAA.  The rub(sts) is that ANG (non-LRE) RPA units at non-DOD airports will potentially have to pay fair market value for their land leases($Ms+) vs the current ($1ish) rate.

    If the effort to classify this mission as aeronautical doesn't succeed, I think it would be safe to say that ANG units like the example would have heavy support from pols for a manned platform like the MC-12 or Scorpion...
