Snickers, I'll bite…

Here are a few articles to get you started:

A Novel Journey | Thanks for your service ? but ya?ll are WAY overcompensated!

Baseops Military Aviation Forums

If you are considering a AGR/AFR position, I applaud. Thrust is mainly speaking of Active Duty - and I fully agree with his reply. The retirement benefits, which are now the easiest target, will most likely have a MAJOR overhaul within the next few years -- not just the 1% COLA.

I hope not to derail your desire, but understand that life is a changing with respects to your pay and benefits. I do not know anybody who is flying for the AGR/AFR that wants to get out. Nobody. It's all of the AD brothers who are feeling the blunt force trauma to the crotch region.

The second link I gave you, if you are not familiar, is linked to well over 1000 military pilots, mainly USAF. Lots of good information, lots of good people.
