Also late to the party but I'm in a similar boat as Surf except about a year behind him timing wise. I'm also looking at the various options including the AF side. Thank you
@RedFive for your description of the AF equivalents - that was the most helpful breakdown I have read on any forum. I am currently on my production tour at the HTs as an IP (also formerly a HSC/60S guy), but looking very closely at the different opportunities that are available following my commitment to the Navy (Navy FTS or SELRES, ANG, Air Force Reserves, etc.). I know the active to active transfer is currently paused by the AF, but I am more interested in the Navy Active to Navy or Air Force Reserve transfer (either FTS or SELRES and the AF equivalents). However, I have no interest in the airlines. I am more interested in quality of life for a family while still flying (helo or fixed, doesn't matter to me) and pursuing entrepreneurial long term goals of owning my own business. With that being said, you all have some amazing tribal knowledge so looking for some inputs/advice on trying to achieve these goals.
