I've heard there is opportunity for full time careers with the ANG. Are any of these flying positions? It seems to me that doing the one weekend a month/2 weeks a year would create a knowledge retention issue. I've been working towards building my resume for OTS, and from what I can gather so far the process is similar when applying for the ANG. AFOQT, TBAS, etc. I like the idea of the ANG because there is a base very near where I grew up and it would be wonderful to serve so close to home. Their mission is appealing to me also. I know it's not logical to be picky about how or where you serve, but right now a full time military position is where I would prefer to end up.

I also have the option to go in as a mechanic, would there be any possibility of working Mx on my time away from the flying side? That seems like a lot to ask; walking in to two positions as an off the street applicant, but I'm very willing to provide all I have to offer.

I apologize this could be a "UTFSF" type of thread but my phone browser wont allow me to search.

Thanks
