You're in prop advanced right now, has anyone winged been sent to a reserve squadron lately? Where's your gouge coming from? That's pretty big news, and sending an active duty O-1 or O-2 to a reserve squadron would require some kind of TAR set up. That and those guys aren't hurting for people by any means (and if they are, where can I sign up...). Is there some kind of back-up at the FRS or is the Maritime Pipeline clogged up right now? Going active in a reserve squadron as a newbie would suck pretty bad, since everyone is severely senior to you. I had an old squadron buddy get a C-12 station pilot at a large NAS (name withheld for his well-being) and he said the already limited flight hours were being sucked up by the reserve guys trying to build time, not to mention getting drive-by tasking all day every day. I'd also be pretty pissed about not going to the fleet.
A few years ago, they sent a bunch (ok, like 5-7) of new Navy wingers to the USCG to fly Falcons, since there was a huge gap in their pipeline. Those guys did 3 yrs with them, and then followed on with P-3 FRS and a fleet tour. That's all good, but that also burned thier initial commitments, and if they wanted to stay in, no shore tour, straight to the boat baby.
