Folks,
Looking for some advice/mentorship here. I'm currenty a 1310 LCDR on active duty planning to separate next summer at roughly 12 years of active service. I have 5 years prior reserve time from when I was enlisted in the Navy Reserve during college. Based on my pay entry base date I'll be close to hitting that 20 year mark which should give me some type of reserve retirement if I can find a way to get a few more good years.
I've considered flying for a VR squadron, but the reality is that the corporate jobs I'm targeting post-Navy do not provide for anywhere near the flexibility required to be a member of those squadrons.
So I'm looking elsewhere within the Navy reserves to see what might be available. I'm stationed in Pt Mugu and will most likely be remaining in the area after separation. I'm also considering the CA National Guard and Air National Guard to see what options are available.
Any recommendations for reserve units I should consider in this area in either of the branches I mentioned? I've considered just going IRR if that is a viable option giving the changing regs?
Thanks for your time.
