You can absolutely have a great family life and fly fighters…let’s break it down
All units have:
1) Local flying training: Wake up, fly around the flag pole, land, sleep at home
2) Local ground training and paperwork. Wake up, do paperwork, wish you were flying, sleep at home
3) Deployment. Take the mission to the enemy/Bring the weapons to the…

Pile-on there’s also an age component in the transition. Flying fighters, especially when you are learning, is super physical. Pilots who are converting tend to be a bit older which just makes it harder.
While you never want to move your head under G. Doing so when you are 22 is okay. At 32 it might put you out for a week. When you’re 42…well…
Kratos, Allen and C.J. Unit of the moment: 130th Rescue Squadron.
Live in San Francisco, Fly awesome rescue C-130s, and Save lives.
Now hiring!
The 130th sister squadrons are one of the few guard helo wings. So while they aren’t hiring help drivers they know the POC who is. @Centrifuge

Cool audio on this video. You can here the voice message system (aka Betty) calling out altitude and pullup warnings. Also it’s hilarious how nonchalant the pilot is about 630 knots.

Did you know the USAF flies Boeing 737s? The DC NG flies them as VIP special air missions. The jet is known in the USAF as the C-40 and is kitted out in an all business class set up.
Joining the fleet soon will be the E-7 wedgetail. No news on where it will be based yet.

Woof. I’m not sure we have that kind of time. Definitely felt like being a part of history.
If you get called up to do disaster relief (DR) – that is super rewarding and one of the things people really enjoy in the guard. If you feel super excited about DR then rescue or air fire fighter is where it’s at.

Reply to No UPT hiring positions?
So the SC ANG email canceling a UPT board created a ton of concern. But it now seems like more of the exception than the rule. Just look at DC who managed to get an extra UPT (F-16) slot.
I’m seeing pretty robust hiring and bogidopers doing really well. Portland, AZ, DC, and AL all went to Bogidopers and lots of folks got invites to…

Certainly! The schoolhouse is OKANG.
It will be interesting to see the ‘ops’ layout. There are a few ARC special ops wings – those wings might get OA-1Ks or the USAF might consolidate them in one or two bases. Elgin? Cannon? Davis Montham?
