Sorry for the long first post from a long time lurker, but I am in need of some advice. I am separating from active duty as a Major with close to 14 years of service. I have a couple full-time job offers in the Guard/Reserve, and I am having a difficult time making a decision. I have researched a lot on AGR vs ART and feel I am well-versed in the pros and cons of each.
As for the offers, the first option is an ANG AGR position that is supposedly a flying position, but remains to be seen if I will actually do any flying due to needed requals or interfly agreements. The second option is an AFRES ART position that will indeed be flying.
Both jobs are in the same area, but I am not sure if it is an area I want to settle in for the long term. I do not have a clear goal in mind of what I want to be when I grow up, but I would like to remain in the aviation field in some capacity. Undecided if I want to chase the airlines. I also have a young family to support.
I realize the decision is mine to make, but I like to bounce it off of others to hear their opinions on the matter. Just curious what would you do if you were in the same position?
