hmm, I didnt know they were the same price, I must have heard wrong :/

cool, I'll check that out. I was thinking about working around the bigger planes anyways. I don't have any prior military experience, so I would have to go to basic and tech school. Im not sure how long the airplane maintanence tech school is... as for mechanical engineering, I was hoping that getting a degree in aerospace would qualify me for a position as another type of engineer. maybe engineering off road equipment or automotive. I have a visit planned for jan. 10th at Ms state, so i need to ask them about all that. As for Ole Miss, I wish I could afford it LOL. But it is a good school, I know a couple of people that went there.

thats good to know, its my main concern. I am going to Mississippi State next fall for aerospace engineering or something similar. I know the closest ANG bases to where the college is, is about 1 1/2 hours. Jackson and Meridian. I figure if I got an ANG tech job in something that is needed everywhere, like aircraft maintanence, then it should be easy to transfer.

I am considering going into the ANG for a mechanical related job. I am full time college right now and want to go in to further my career and get tuition assistance. The only problem that is keeping me from signing up is that I do not know what will happen after I get out of school and whether or not I can move to another unit easily if I have to take a job in a different state for example. The ANG says that you can change units but they did not say how long the process took. Also I guess its the question of whether or not the job I am trained for is avaliable in another place or not...anyone else out there had to do this?
