  1. Interviewed/Hired: Sept 2015 Sworn in: April 2016 FC1: July 2016 Baby: Due November 2016:D OTS: scheduled April 2017 IFS:Exempt UPT: @ Columbus Sept 2017 ANG Not sure why the long delay but at this point I'm just happy to get dates.
  2. Just to update everyone on my decision; after going back and forth I have decided to go Guard. It just seems like it would work out better for me and my family in the long run giving me more control and flexibility over my life. I can get my foot in door at the airlines earlier where seniority is everything. Living in the Dallas Fort Worth area provides a lot of opportunity at the majors; especially at American and South West. I'll definitely have to fly for the regionals to help build my time faster to qualify for the majors. My guard unit is located here in the metroplex so my commute to both jobs would be minimal. I'm very grateful for the opportunity and thanks again for everyone's advice.
  3. I was actually offered the active duty pilot slot though OTS. I'm a civilian that applied and the board selected me; I'm not in ROTC.
  4. I was recently notified that I have been selected for both an active duty pilot slot as well as a slot at my local ANG unit in my home town. I'm having problems deciding which slot to accept. The local ANG squadron flies C130s which seems like a very cool platform to fly, and it would be amazing to be local my entire career around family because it is where I grew up. I also plan to fly for the airlines one day and most of the pilots in the unit fly for the airlines so I would have a lot of connections to the majors. However it is tempting to go active duty for the outstanding benefits and the chance at fighters which has been a dream of mine. However after looking at recent T38/fighter drops on the forums and talking with current Instructor Pilots at UPT now, it doesn't look like the odds are in my favor to gamble for fighters. Any advice would be appreciated as I'm trying to make this tough decision.
