Happy to help! One last thing regarding the waivers, for a head start there I would take a look at MilRecruiter under the Board Result section. If you pull those PDFs, some of them actually list what units processed age waivers or ETPs for folks. Might give you somewhere to look for places that will consider one.

Best of luck!

My squadron CC, a Lt Col, is fully behind me in this process and will be writing and signing one of my letters of recommendation.

Reattack.

Some folks will skip the part-time + regionals and just stay full time.

Advantages

  • more flying, competitive for weapons school, probably better cash flow initially
  • Higher value pension (ANG or Regular)

Disadvantages

  • Get to the airlines later.
  • You’ll likely make less money over the course of your aviation career (maybe 5-10% less)

Competitiveness will vary by state and most states want prior service, only a few will take civilian applicants (street to seat). You can PM me if you want and I can answer all your other questions. I’m a Warrant Officer and I had my flight ratings and a degree and I don’t regret it at all. With the National Guard you get a guaranteed pilot…
