October 10, 20232 yr I have no idea what a DD368 is. If you have the dream job/aircraft lined up with the reserves, sounds like you've answered your own question. Don't go active if you don't have to. You will have less control over your life and long term career goals. Shit they may put you in helicopters on AD, then your life would be over.
October 10, 20232 yr You'll close more doors than you'll open by going AD initially. AD will almost certainly be an option in the future if it's necessary to reach your goal.
October 10, 20232 yr Remember on Billy Madison, when he grabs the chubby kid by the cheeks and tells him to cherish where he is forever? That.

After you've done real work for them. Deployments, trips, exercises, alerts, whatever they do. Do that well and then you can consider other options.
