Default For Guard / Reserve Job Postings

Go to baseops.net and look at their ANG/AFRES job listing.
They often post listings for pilot hiring boards.
military flying provides excellent opportunities for getting awesome flying expirience with relatively little flying time. Where else can you pilot a KC-135 all over the world, and be a aircraft commander (captain) with between 800-1200 hours (1200 more liekly). Keep in mind that Air Force pilot training is a long hard year.

I have flown Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve. They all have certain advantages. I think the reserve provides the best of both active duty and guard. It is easier to move from reserve to reserve unit than guard to guard.

Guard ushually has the least BS when it come to getting the job done. They also get the most cush trips. On call to state gov then fed gov

Reserve get many cush trips too, but is still on call to the federal gov

Active duty gives you full time medical and a guaranteed paycheck every 1st and 15th.

Whichever way you go you might find out that it becomes more that you expected.

Good Luck
