Track Selects and Assignment Nights
I assume you meant Youngstown for the OH C-130. The Guard lost their tails a long time ago.

KC-46A Info
Already discussed here man

Best chances for fighters.. AD or Reserves?
He’s absolutely real.

Part time, non-flying guard/reserve jobs in DFW?
usajobs.gov is probably a good start

Guard RC-26 to Fighters (hypothetical)
They knew ahead of time for ENJJPT. The only people that applied during OTS were AD.

Guard RC-26 to Fighters (hypothetical)
It’s not common, but yes. Know of some JSTARS and -130H buddies that went.

TDART speculation / troughing
Frozen for everyone without a tentative job offer from OPM. A lot of people have been screwed, but that’s the Air Force and you can’t count on anything that’s not in writing.

More Uniform Changes!
- Guard/Reserve timeline to UPT
I had a gap in orders between OTS/UPT and UPT/PIQ, so plan for the worst case accordingly. USERRA is a wonderful thing if you do have a job by the time you leave for training. However, your unit should work with you and keep you on orders if the gap is less than 30 days.- Is Not Having or Wanting a Family a Big Deal For Units? Or Considered Strange?
I’m 31 and single with no kids. It has never been as issue with me ever. Especially if you don’t mind being the DD haha.- GPA Impact
You won’t need a waiver. GPA requirement pretty much only applies if you’re applying to AD boards.- Question: AF Reserve vs Air National Guard Waiver Approving Authority
My waiver was approved by NGB/SG. Sure, the state surgeon may help or hinder (I’ve dealt with both), but the finally authority came from NGB. Just make sure you have your ducks in a row with paperwork, second opinions, medical reports, etc., and know what those say inside and out. If SG rejects the waiver, FIGHT! NGB f’ed up my waiver the first time around, solely for the fact that the person reviewing it was sloppy and didn’t care to read all the way through the reports.- AD UPT Unmanned pilot possibility?
Shack. Studs also don’t realize how many badass and different missions are out there besides warheads-on-foreheads. When I went through T-6s, every Friday an IP from a different platform would brief us on their mission, family life, lifestyle, trips, etc. I knew at least five classmates that realized they wanted AFSOC/AMC after all.- F-15 Down in North Sea - 15 Jun 20
🍺- Track Selects and Assignment Nights
I’d be hard pressed to find a T-1 stud that tracked a F-35 or F-15E in those drops 😉- UPT Next
What the heck did I just read?- Civilian FY 2020 OTS Boards
- UPT Next
Three checkrides in the T-1: Transition, Navigation, and Mobility Fundamentals.- Clay Beer Mugs, Shirts, etc
I don’t have my stein handy, but I’m 99.69% certain this is the company CBM studs use for steins. They always seem to turn out well. https://www.ajmugs.com/products.php?category=Steins- ANG and AFR CSO Opportunities
Some will hold joint pilot/nav boards, others separately. Best bet would to check out their websites, bogidope, or cold calling the squadron POC.- ANG and AFR CSO Opportunities
From my understanding, C-130H units are generally hurting for Navs in the ANG/AFRC. You shouldn’t have a tough time landing a slot with a unit, if you choose to go that route. - Guard/Reserve timeline to UPT
