ANG to AFRC IMA (Place Holder)
roto replied to TheNewGazmo's topic in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves
Yes, a buddy in my unit (Captain) just did it. ANG to AFRC IMA -
It was worth a try

Hey guys, I’m an H model Co trying to close out my hours for AC upgrade, I’m very interested in going on a deployment with another H model unit. It’s been challenging finding info on this stuff, and I’m sure everyone is “fat on co-pilots”, but with the H sunsetting I really feel like I have to hit this hard to get it done. If someone could send me even a state and a time-frame I can do the rest of the lifting from there. It’s a small community so if you reach out we probably even know each other haha Thanks

I’ll just shoot him a text

When/what is that? Do I gotta watch CSPAN?

I'll give another wack at this thread revival. I'll be looking for a full-time AGR gig when I get back to my unit in a few months. I know it takes time and I have to pay my dues, but with that being said, is it feasible to live off of bumb pay and even buy a house? Taxes are high so I could expect a 2k month mortgage. Also, for those that have been around for a while, if the economy tanks do you think the money will dry up as well? I know it's DoD funded but if there's anyone still around from the last recession that could give some insight on their experience it would be appreciated. Thanks

LC’s out in NY is a good unit that I’ve heard can be a challenge to get into. This means basically nothing but just my .02

New Tech/ART pay tables
roto replied to Scooter14's topic in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves
Right, by trade off's I mean redeaming features of the AFRC. And I couldn't agree more, AFRC on an AD base would be no bueno. And for what it's worth, AFRC gals go to GS-11 At 300 hours which includes UPT time, so you should start there at the end of seasoning. A little better. Not throwing Spears just correcting the record. I'm just trying to wrap my a cranium around the differences in pay between AFRC and ANG. I don't want to believe that the reserve's just pay their peeps less for the same job (more deployments) as ANG to save a few bucks. Right? -
New Tech/ART pay tables
roto replied to Scooter14's topic in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves
I think something worth mentioning, and someone correct me if I’m wrong, is although ANG starts at 13 those slots are harder to come by (especially in heavy units) than in the AFRC (especially for low time 1Lt types). In the AFRC, from what I understand, you’re guaranteed a technician slot as soon as you’re off seasoning. Plus AFRC has more $$. Obviously this will vary but I feel like AFRC has more financial stability than the ANG. Thats the only the trade off I can come up with when comparing the two. I’m a guard guy looking at switching to AFRC and I’m gonna miss the good ol state militia, but as far as setting up shop and building time with a solid financial plan I think AFRC is might be the way to go. -
I don't think there's an osprey option in the ANG/AFRC.

ANG is giving away 20k bonus to pilots/trainee’s
roto replied to roto's topic in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves
Nice, thanks for that. Looks like the reserves gets the short end of the stick again. -
Washed out of the fighter pipeline, what’s next?
roto replied to roto's topic in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves
Thanks for the replies. I appreciate the people reaching out in DMs with helpful gouge. Is it better to cold call DO’s or have my current commander reach out? My CC is a great dude that’s doing everything he can to help, I’m trying to take the initiative to make the calls first. Any thoughts? -
Hey guys, I was a guard dude with a viper slot and now I’m just a guard dude with wings. I got a lot of things to figure out but I wanted to jump on this forum and see if anyone out there has insight on the process from here. I was told to go find a new unit but anyone that knows anything about securing a good job in the guard will tell you it’s not that easy. One of my biggest questions; how do I go from ANG to AFRC? I know what you’re thinking, “don’t do it!” But my situation paired with my desire for a particular part of the country is driving that move. Has anyone here done it? All I’ve heard is “it’s hard to do” and the “AFRC is a shitty deal” can anyone please give me guidance. There’s legitimately no one else I can ask. Thanks

Did anyone here interview with Alaska on this last board? or recently?

Hey guys, Looking for some guidance for a buddy of mine. We are currently in UPT and he has managed to dislocate his shoulder and was medically DQ'd. Unfortunately, he had dislocated it previously years ago and gotten surgery. The surgery seemed to have taken and he was granted a waiver. Now that he has dislocated it again he was DQ'd because of "shoulder instability" and was told by the flight docs that he is done. I can provide more details as required but the big picture question I'm getting at is; will the ANG be able to work some drug deal and approve him to continue training? Maybe through an ETP or somthing? (I have no clue what I'm talking about). In other words, he lost his FC1 But can the loving arms of the guard pull him in and save his ass? Of course there's red tape with ditching his ADSC and them wanting a broken stud but is this in any way conceivable? He's a good dude and maybe just grasping at straws but figured it was worth asking here. Thanks for the help

What exactly are you asking?

Heavies to Fighters Transition in the Guard
roto replied to StickShaker's topic in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves
1. C-130's arn't heavies. 2. You could always have gone AD if you wanted a pointy nose that badly. -
Does anyone have experience with being an alternate that was later moved up to a primary? Almost 1 year has gone by since that interview, and I just got a call saying I got the slot. I'm concerned that I have a lot less time than the usual salectee because of the circumstances.

Anybody hear back from Ohio?

11B to 11F in the Guard/Reserve?
roto replied to Razor666's topic in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves
really? It seems like a location like that would see a lot of people gravitating towards it... -
I agree. They've probably already pre-selected someone, so this is their way of consolidating their efforts.
