    XFER to ANG ??

    yeah, guardreservejobs and baseops really arent that helpful all. I'm looking for something a little bit beyond "what are my chances." I'll try the forum though at jetcareers, thanks MIDNJAC for that gouge. Ideally I'd like to get some input from usmc (or navy) rotary wing who've successfully...

    XFER to ANG ??

    Looking for any info regarding transition from AD USMC RW to ANG FW. Last "credible" information I saw looked to be from 2006 timeframe, from which the best gouge was all about who you know. Looking for anyone to elaborate on the process and provide details or stories of success/failure. This...

    requesting duty station change flying the same platform

    what is the likelyhood of requesting to change duty stations while continuing to fly the same platform? Such as you're stationed west coast and you at some point would rather fly/live east coast for lower cost of living or whatnot. Or if you fly ch-46's in okinawa and want to go to pendleton...

    Army's Alternative Professional Program - Graduate from West Point to NFL?

    And while I'm on my soapbox... you obviously didnt go to a Div-I school, or at least not one that was any good (good at bringing in football money, not necerssarily good at winning), cause the above statement would lead a person to believe you're living in the dark

    Renting An Airplane

    Can someone tell me about renting a plane? I see a rate for a 172 for $120-$150. But are there any other costs involved? Am I going to need a checkride before they're rent me a plane? What if I want to rent for the weekend. Do I pay for all that time, or just time the engine is turning? Is...

    Camp Pendleton Living

    Thanks for the replies. Of the people you know who live in fallbrook/temecula do they have any complaints about the commute? How long does it take to get the the squadrions if cutting through the fallbrook weapons station vs going around to the mainside entrance?

    Can anyone tell me if there is a gate on the east side of MCB Camp Pendleton? I see there is one on the south near oceanside, and suspect there is one on the north. Is there a way on base near the Fallbrook and Temecula area, or would one have to drive around down south near oceanside...

    Vibrations in the cockpit

    I guess I should have prefaced my question by saying... "in addition to the NATOPS" ... That was actually the first place I looked. I was wondering if there was any additional things that might give me more insight as to what I'm looking for. Or is it one of those, "when you hear it, you'll...

    Best Commissioning Program

    The reason for this is they know that they would rather go to college first. So they do the 90 day program for 3 reasons 1) want to be a Marine 2) enlisting early gets you "in the club" and it helps with PLC entry 3) make extra money If you want to be a Marine, then you want to...

    Best Commissioning Program

    Another option, which I actually think is the best option.... Enlist after freshman year of college, do 90 day reservist program (get paid) go to sophomore year, get air contract and go to PLC jr (get paid), come back for junior year, after which you go to PLC sr (get paid) come back to...
