I am also 19 but from what i’ve heard being young isn’t a disadvantage! My buddy in the guard that got picked up for F35s said its actually an advantage because you have more time to serve. If anyone has heard otherwise though let me know.

Great to to know! Both of those look like good airframes and I am considering them but im definitely more attracted to some of the missions C130s get to do despite the (lower) hours.

The guy that I was talking to a few days ago that triggered me to ask this question was a C130 guard pilot out of Fairbanks and now flies the KC135 up there – he also recommended C17s and KC135s for hour builders. I have an interest in living/flying in Alaska so I am absolutely going to try to apply for the bases in Anchorage and Fairbanks

Not looking after fast time per se, I am definitely going in for the flying experience and opportunities but the hours I get out of it are kind of a factor because of the commitment involved (not sure if that makes sense)! Thank you for replying, that is all great insight : )

Thank you so much for the reply, this is super helpful! Definitely a thing im weighing into my decision on joining, especially when you account for going through OTS / UPT. It looks like a great experience but its a big time commitment when you consider all of those factors and I would like to get at least some hours out of it

Great to consider, thank you!
