The guard as a backup.
The airlines are boom and bust. And having the ANG to fall back on can be an important safety net. I nearly got furloughed during COVID and was thankful for a paycheck. The latest news out of Spirit is a reminder.

Spirit Airlines could soon go out of business — months after declaring bankruptcy
Fewer people are booking leisure trips and tough competition from other carriers are making it hard to hit the money targets, the airline said.

I agree with Husky on this. I would like to “pile-on” to his comments and say that you never know where the aviation industry will go.
I have been fortunate enough to have both a Guard and Civilian Career. It has not always been easy, but I feel like the good outweighs the things that are tough.
I have had countless conversations with…

The gun!
Believe it or not, the gun is still a really important part of a fighter jet’s loadout. Why? For each advancement to detect, there’s one to hide and so there always the chance for a visual engagement. And, maybe with the exception of the EX, you don’t have a ton of missiles.
But air to ground is where the gun has thrived the last 20…

Crohn's Disease - the dream's dead right?
Hello members of this esteemed community.
A few months ago I posted about some health history being a potential preventative factor to me joining the reserves and trying the UPT route to fulfill my dream of flying in the Air Force.
Well, fast forward a few months and a hospital visit later, I’ve been diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. I’ve done…

I feel the exact same way as Lauren. I relied on the notification function of the app and once the app became unavailable, I have visited the site less often.
The website does respond much faster than the app but having an app is still very helpful.

So, you got a UPT slot and earned your wings. Now what? There is still a bunch of school left to complete between wings and MQT. One of those schools is SERE, or survival school. Here you will learn to survive an ejection, on the ground, evade, and get rescued. You will also learn what to do if you’re NOT rescued.…

Aside from the gun, the AIM-9 is the most ubiquitous (and well-loved) of all the air-to-air tools. Sure AMRAAM goes further, but it’s also too smart for its own good. For almost 70 years now, the AIM-9 has held down the fort for all red-blooded, “heaters and guns” only fighter pilots.
