Ahhh, love this time of year!!

Look into a Joint Force HQ staff, either VA, WV, or MD for your location. Those guys are usually true traditionals, doing the minimum. I’m not sure if NGB has traditional positions or not-could be an option. You may be limited since retraining is not an option for you.

Are you willing to go to a non-flying DSG position to finish out your time? Something that doesn’t require you maintain a currency?

All flying positions I know of in the ANG are Major positions. Is that what you are asking?

Question is-does he still live there? He is now retired. And I would much rather watch a college game as compared to an NFL game, but I do live in the south and grew up on college football, way before the NFL came to town.

Easy now-but I do know quite a few that may resemble that remark

I also, have not seen anything saying that green flight suits are going away.

Something I finally agree with you on

The option should NEVER be taken away. Green pajamas is what we wear.

Check!

No worries. Couldn’t let ya’ off that easy. Hell, I may need your services within the year.

And a swing and a miss

Probably about time to make some phone calls. Would make them if I was there, it’s out of my lane now.

Still no class date? Waiver process?

No dog in fight, I’m an AGR

Lifer=General Chang burner account?

Yes

You need to update your data-C-130s have been gone from Nashville since 2012. If age is your limfac, RPAs are your best bet. Nashville just held a URT board, so next one is likely at least 6-9 months away. Nashville is very open to speaking with folks that are interested. Manning is pretty good but they are always trying to be prepared for force mgmt. Memphis is undergoing some leadership changes. Not sure if they are actively hiring for UPT or not. Call them to find out. I believe they have a difficult time keeping full timers since purple is across the ramp Knoxville is usually fairly consistent on UPT boards and are also getting ready to undergo a few leadership changes. If I happen to hear of their next board, I will post it here. I believe Bergman is a current member and he may be able to shed some light on their hiring situation.

Doing this now and it is rather eye opening from the way I was raised. Lots of autonomy and freedom to do things. Kind of a pain in the ass for most of the support functions that I have taken for granted for most of my career.

Damn right I have Air Medal tags on both of my vehicles. Free tags for life are hard to argue with and will save me a ton of money.

You are correct. They were Nashville birds. We received the WCs after our H2s were BRAC’d. My last flight in the Herk was to deliver a plane down to the PRANG. I last flew the MA (968) on 30 Apr 12, almost 6 yrs ago to the day. The airplane I delivered, 866, ironically is currently sitting in Nashville and will reportedly soon have its wings removed so it can be trucked to the boneyard. To the crew

Our guy is an enlisted troop who stayed DSG. Not sure why he preferred to be T5, but his call and we get to maintain his knowledge and experience.

Our first one started this week and he can’t be any happier.

That wasn’t you in the DEN USO Thursday morning was it?

I remember the ramp at MacDill being loaded with F-16s and a bunch of other iron back in 1994 prior to the Haitian Vacation.
