I think this is just the beginning of multiple Guard and Reserve Units getting this airplane.
These may be some of the best places to get a job as not everyone wants to the 5-6 month initial training.
If MAF (Mobility Air Forces) is your goal, I would keep a Unit like this on your radar.

Reply to Can I Get Some Advice?
Longshot,
Seems like you’ve gotten a lot of good advice on how to press forward! One thing that I always recommend to those on a timeline crunch is to have a true deep conversation on what you truly want and are looking to achieve. Age waivers are a thing, not so much for fighters, and I know some units won’t even look at your app over 28 years…

The glory days of being a test pilot and flying several different aircraft are long gone, however it is kinda cool to be able to pass on aircraft to different generations. You could get selected, have a full career, retire and your kids could do the same on possibly the same…

Bonuses! Something that is thrown around a lot when joining the military. Some enlistment bonuses in the Guard/Res are up to $90k! However as a UPT candidate you shouldn’t expect a bonus. When you put on your wings your 10 year commitment starts and the man’s got ya! After that 10 year is complete then you become bonus eligible. What the bonus…
