  1. Selling leave to avoid taxes = Dumb idea General selling leave info: - You can sell leave anytime - You can only sell back 60 days (max) in your career. - You only get base pay (no BAH) if you sell leave My advice: Save that shite for when you are getting out (separating or retiring) and take terminal leave. Higher rank & higher pay by then + Terminal comes with BAH. Not to mention you could pick up another job (even federal) while on terminal.

  4. Just be yourself dude. "Orientation" means they want to meet you; a good way for them (outside the formal process) to gauge how you'll fit on the crew. Group or individual? Different units do it different. Regardless, when you get out there, make some effort to step around and shake some hands. Get to know as many people as you can around the unit and throw out a little about yourself too. I've heard of units that take this "orientation" thing as serious as your actual interview. And when I say interview, I'm mostly talking officer aircrew, I'm not sure if this unit will hold interview boards for booms. Enlisted aircrew with most units go through the regular recruiting process. They to however get a chance to mix with the bubbas at the squadron before signing the dotted line. What should you wear? Look smart. I wouldn't say throw on a suit; and I wouldnt say throw on some jeans and tennis shoes either. Folks out there have presented well with business casual and some clean work boots, or some comfortable decent shoes. Studying up on the Aircraft / Unit = Good idea. You want to fly with these guys? It would be nice to know what you are getting yourself into, especially when asked. Not talking aircraft manual and technical orders here; you'll get that shit in KC-135 school (which is what Azimuth eluded to earlier). Talking more aircraft mission, capabilities, etc. Y'know, the general shit about what you will be flying and the unit you'll be flying with. Go out there, make friends, have fun. Remember, fundamental question in their minds is: Is this a guy we would want to hang out with on an X-month deployment to [wherever the f*ck tankers deploy to these days] while we support a bunch of vipers and hogs out there killing shit & breaking people? Bottom line: Don't be an asshole.
