Well I'll be there 4 weeks from today (who's counting) I'll look around. I'm on active side, can't pretend to know full situation on guard side but will find out.

VSP pretty much wiped out the community, guess a lot of those guys are heading up maybe? AK seems only to appeal to certain types (me included) so I'm kind of surprised they've been able to fill the unit so fast. It's always a challenge to get the school slot though.

Incidentally, the more I think about it I have to say the transoceanic requirement seems kind of gay to me too. I've spent way too much of my life crossing one pond or another. I don't want to minimize my career, but what is so hard about it? HF sucks but it ain't rocket science. I remember my first overseas mission, I had no idea what the hell was going on...and that's why they put me with an experienced crew. And I learned. And it didn't take that long.

Seems like UPS is just cutting down their recruiting pool. Now since I still qualify...I'm all for it.
