Here's my experience so far. I've been in the reserves for 4+ years. Finished my bachelor's and master's in that time...spent last summer in the sandbox...and am getting ready to apply to the regionals as well as have an interview this week with the C-130 unit in Minneapolis. My goal here is to get hired on back home with the 130's, fly for a regional until i leave for AMS and flight training (Assuming I get a slot) and then go to training for two years, making LT pay with 4 years prior service. After that...I can either come back and upgrade to captain quickly at the airline, or keep seniority for a few months and get my feet back into the 121 environment. Either way, the military is a great option if you're up to the challenge and want to serve your country too. The military, whether guard/reserve or active duty, is a full time commitment these days with deployments expected every one and half to two years.
