Hey all,
Couldn't find an existing topic that covers the question, but I'm sure I'm not the first and only one who's ever wondered it. I also will say up front that I'm sure the chances are slim if they exist.
Long story short, I was a UPT stud, dot med DQed, went non-rated, got a waiver, re-applied, got denied to crosstrain by my CFM (didn't think that would be possible, but I digress). At this point I'm set up to attend a program with a new ADSC commitment for my next assignment, and I'll be about a mid-grade Captain by the time I can get out.
What I'm wondering is - is it possible, have you ever heard of anyone etc. rushing a guard or reserve fighter squadron as a a non-rated mid-grade Captain? I've heard of guys getting heavies off the street with virtually no PPL hours during the worst of the manning crisis, and I've heard of not even getting a look unless you're prior rated when manning is maxed out.
So all I'm really asking is - is there a chance?
Thanks in advance.
