As many others have mentioned, visiting the same unit multiple times is what will really get you hired. Also if you can try to stay as local as possible that is something else units love to see. If you just want to fly consider rushing heavy units as they'll have a fraction of the applicants that fighter units get. Definitely nothing wrong with AD, just depends what your goals are and if you're willing to take any assignment. We're all just a little biased here.

How long have you been rushing units for? Have you visited the same units multiple times? What's your end goal?

Not looking for financial advise - just curious. I am a newly commissioned 2Lt so I have the option to take out the 2.99% 25K USAA career starter loan. I also have a HYSA which pays 4.6% interest. It seems like a no brainer to take out the loan and just leave it in my HYSA. Is this a crazy idea?

There are reserve IP squadrons at all UPT bases. So I assume a Guard pilot could do that. Although I think they strongly prefer pilots who had previous instructor time.

I am currently a reservist awaiting UPT and the 340th has sent a bunch of us to SERE prior. This must be fairly new.

This is a very case by case thing. Depends on mission, unit funding, manning, so many factors. It's possible.

That would realistically never happen since they're already hired for the airframe.

Depends on state. Some states cover full.

How long did you guys spend in-processing at the 340th? And how soon was it before you left for UPT? Thanks for any help.

I can't speak to the whole group, but my buddies scores were pretty high and he is a CFI with like 1,500 hours.
