Hey guys, so I’m 28 years old and currently a first officer at a regional airline. I’ve always wanted to join the Air Force/ANG and was recently on a flight where I met a pilot in the ANG. I think I might make the leap but I’m really nervous about the whole process and have a few questions: 1. I graduated college 6 years ago now and haven’t been in any books, what is the AFOQT like and how hard do I need to study? 2. What is the pay like throughout the entire training process? I’m thinking I would take a pay cut to do this. 3. The pilot I met flew the C-5 and he explained it wasn’t deployable which was great however if I chose a different aircraft (fighters/helo) what is life like on that side. 4. Last but not least is it worth it? I could probably make it to a major airline or a low cost carrier in the next 2 years but if I do this I’d have to put all that on hold and potentially lose that chance. Any insight and information would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
