Talking about other Jobs in the Interview
One of the great advantages of the guard and reserve is the ability to be a citizen airman and have a second career. But addressing that second career in an interview requires some finesse.
First let’s talk about the timeline: Your application is tight, you crush the interview and you get the call from the squadron commander welcoming you to…

Hey applications can be a grind, let’s take a moment to kindle that flame. Here’s one of my favorite videos – the 36th Fighter Squadron at Red Flag Alaska.
Some Notes:
1+28: is world famous Low Level of Justice in Alaska. That, the sidewinder in California and the Mach loop in England are some of the best.
2+21: you’ll see some pilots…

Reply to What "crazy" hobbies do you enjoy?
CJ, I’ve always found fast friends for crazy hobbies in the USAF. Skiing, surfing, rock climbing – there’s always someone in the squadron who is ready to adventure.

Husky started the discussion Paths to the Guard in the forum Air Force a year ago
On a DM another Bogidoper asked me what my route was to the Guard; I thought that might be useful for some others as well. But enough about me let’s talk about planes.
A note on terms,
Air National Guard (ANG, AKA Guard, or Air Guard)
US Air Force Reserves (USAFR, AKA the Reserves)
Air Reserve Component (ARC) = ANG + USAFR
Regular Air Force (REGAF,…

Alex! Misty 01 is tally target, visual friendlies. Request my mark with WP, your brief, your control.
Shout out to one of members who recently retook the AFOQT and scored a 99 pilot; a more that 25 point gain!
A great example of how much progress members can make on that score! Keep it up out there!

70 Kills! seven-zero.
Air and Space Force Magazine is reporting the Strike Eagles shot down seventy drones last night! Crazy! If true it looks like air to air is back.
Since WWI balloons have counted as kills. Do drones count now? If so, we might have our first Aces since Vietnam. Discuss.
Cheers!

Husky replied to the discussion Help Needed in the forum Air Force a year ago
Carson, take heart brother! This is very doable, common in fact. There are plenty of Army and Navy folk who have joined the ANG and become pilots.
Q1: I’m not a doctor, but from what you describe I bet there is a path to victory. We offer a 1 on 1 coaching session with a flight doc who can get you dialed in on the process
Q2: The risk is perhaps…

Reply to Active Navy Pilot to ANG/AFR
@E.T. Some good data here but some mixed applications.
To clarify. There is now a pretty well-trod DON to ANG path. The cited age stuff is only a factor for UFT – you are considered prior rated so no factor.
At least in the fighter community, there’s no stigma for gold wings. Two of our current SQ/CCs are prior Navy.
Cheers,
Husky
