Best AD, ANG and/or AFRC C-17 bases
As far as Jackson goes, you'll either like it or hate it. The roads are always horrible.

The Iran thread
Iran has been hurt hard by sanctions. They're logic will soon be "If we can't sell oil, neither can the other Gulf States." If things get bad enough, Iran could close the Straight of Hormuz. They can't just close the straight right now, they will have to buildup to it. Expect things to get worse.

Law or Medical School while in Reserve/Guard?
Be sure to check the benefits of your state if you plan on using them in school. There are also new rules for the GI Bill. Other than that, serious kudos if you can pull it off.

Upcoming Boards
Message me for more information! Just kidding. But I assume that’s true because of the lack of UPT boards. I’m just using reasoning. I’m not a pilot and you probably shouldn’t rely on me for information. I’m just passing along what I was told.

Upcoming Boards
I spoke to a recruiter from Whiteman about a month ago. The B2 unit hires primarily from within their own unit. If you're dead set on being a B2 pilot, enlist with them.

Lifestyle of an Airline and ANG Fighter Pilot
Excellent points. He said other things like you have to be related to someone, I wouldn’t have much of a chance, etc. I’m starting to think he may have a friend in a heavy unit, and is trying to help him recruit. Thanks guys!

Lifestyle of an Airline and ANG Fighter Pilot
Thanks for the quick reply. Right out of the gate? Or would one have to get a job aside from flying?

Lifestyle of an Airline and ANG Fighter Pilot
I spoke with a guy who was a retired Hurricane Hunter. He said that if one were to go ANG fighters, you wouldn’t have the number of hours required to fly for an airline on the side until 10/15 years. Is this accurate? He said to go tanker/transport if I wanted to go airline.

Guard/Reserve timeline to UPT
Anyone know the current timeline, from getting hired as a sponsored pilot through the ANG to OTS? I'm fresh off the streets.
