All, 
 
    I have been reading and watching this forum on and off again for a couple of years and I am not sure if I have seen this question come up.  I am currently an E-5 in the ANG and have been in just at 8 years.  I am one semester from a degree in engineering that took longer and was way harder than I thought.  I plan on applying to OTS for a rated (pilot) postion next year after graduation and at the end of my 3 year extension.  My reason for the post, and question is if anyone has taken this route or knows whether the 9 years in the ANG will help or hurt my OTS chances? 
 
Thanks,
