Anyone that can chime in for Guard C-130s? I have utilized the search bar but have came across either old info (which I don't know if it would still apply today) or more of active duty stuff. I understand the term of "Guard Bum" but how much actual "bumming" can one do as a right-out-of-training guy/gal? Also, any details on the EC-130, Commando Solo folks from the PA ANG?

Gotcha...i guess you might have a few days or so as exodus break. Would be worthwhile to go visit. I know I would.

Congratulations bud! I have not heard of anything for this fiscal year yet. Based on what I've heard from many Guard guys, it is not very likely to get into a class in such a short timeframe...then again, there is always a possibility since the FY hasn't started.

Anyone that can chime in regarding the EC-130J (Commando Solo) from the Guard side of the house? I know the EC-130 (Compass Call) was mentioned but nothing from the Guard end.

You can always contact the POC and politely ask if there is another e-mail where you can send your information to. I would say that the main reason POCs do this is to filter the barrage of emails they receive regarding the hiring board. Option B would be to use the AMRDEC website as stated above. Best of luck!

Makes sense now. I forgot about the airlines side of the issue. I just hope that wherever i'm hired I am able to obtain an AGR slot again, or at least a full-time slot.

Got it. That makes sense, i'm stuck with rank as an enlisted AGR hence I was wondering if that was the main reason why slots would be hard to fill

Yea, same here. Were you prior service?

why wouldn't folks want to jump on that? Being stuck at a certain rank or why exactly do you say that? (just wondering)

Gee, i was about to ask the same thing. I constantly hear Guars guys waiting almost a year before any dates. Sept sounds super fast. Now the question is....how far will UPT dates be?

That's what i've heard as well. I knew a guy that deployed with them few years back and mentioned the same.

I take it that you got an invite? Congratulations!
