[Visiting a unit]

Thread revival: I'm looking at a unit 4 hours away, and I think it'd be good for my wife to see the area and the unit. I was invited to come down during the week and check it out and ask any questions I have, which I plan on doing. Any advice on taking your significant other for your first ever squadron visit?

[Herk future in AFRC/ANG]

Any speculation on Minneapolis or St Joe ANG and their C130s?

[Upcoming Boards]

Duluth, MN 148th FW is hiring F16 pilots. http://www.148fw.ang.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-141105-040.pdf

[Which Aircraft At Which Base?]

Des Moines, IA (132nd) no longer has the F-16, instead they have the MQ-9.

Sioux City, IA (185th) has the KC-135

Both are Guard bases.

[ANG Pilot lifestyle/Quality of Life]

What would you guys say is the best aircraft or mission for being a "full-time" guard bum? I'd like to make at least $50k+ bumming. I'm married, no kids.

[Guard C-130 lifestyle]

Nunya, would you say it's possible to make a decent living guard bumming flying C130s? I'm from a tanker unit, and I know a lot of pilots there guard bum, and the tankers are always going on trips. Whether it be 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, all the way to 3 months. I'm also looking at a couple C130 units, but I think I'd rather be full time guard bum than have a civ job (if it's even possible).

[Guard C-130 lifestyle]

Hey Toasty, I have some questions about flying C130s in Cheyenne since they're hiring now. I tried sending you a PM, but it said you're "Unable to receive messages". What's it like flying in Cheyenne? How many guys are "full time guard bums"? Or do most pilots have civilian jobs?

[AFOQT details]

Has anyone used the website http://afoqtguide.com/practice-exams? They have a couple of free practice tests and answers keys on there for the AFOQT. Does anyone know if those are any good or not (are the practice questions a similiar difficulty as the real test), or am I better off studying somewhere else? Thanks.

[CV-22 out of UPT?]

Thread revival

Are CV-22s dropping out of UH-1s, T-1s, or T-38s now? Any CV-22 pilots out there?
