I've been at the regionals for just about 5 years, additionally been a guard guy for about 7 years working in the maintenance group on F15s.
Next year our unit is holding a board, was going to apply for this one in April but am going to wait until next year.
Guard has been the best thing to happen to me, counting down the days until I get to interview at my unit.
Great group of guys. I will say that it seems to be incredibly difficult even getting looked at for fighters without any internal recommendations or being an active duty fighter guy transitioning to the guard.
