Hey guys, I really appreciate all this advice. I talked with an ANG recruiter in high school. He wasn't very clear about flying, he really just wanted me to enlist. What would I need to do to fly kc-135's? They have a wing in my home town (McGhee Tyson ANG Base Knoxville, TN.) I have always loved seeing those heavies flying out of TYS. And, like you gentlemen suggested, the airlines (yes, I am hoping to eventually get with a major airline) prefer heavy time over fighter time. Any ANG or specifically stratotanker pilots out there? I'd love to talk to you about your career. For example, what is your lifestyle like? Are you married, and how long are you usually seperated when you are flying? What is your time commitment? I've got a worried girlfriend who has visions of me being in Iraq for a year if I do any kind of military flying. Anyways, let me know about the ANG thing and commitments etc. Also, thank you guys for your professionalism, I really appreciate it.
Chandler
