'Slot' is a slang term for a position.
https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/i...et-in-the-army (First one I found; there were a metric gringoton of google hits for guard/reserve slot that had zero to do with being a pilot)
But thanks for letting me know that 'slot' only refers to pilot jobs; I'll have to tell the Army 92Y that he can't use the term 'slot' to refer to anything other than pilot positions. Those damned unit supply specialists.
Riiiiight.
As mentioned earlier, you come on an aviation message board, on a civilian/mil thread, and say "Join the Guard! There's plenty of slots available!"
We were all born at night, but it wasn't last night. YOU know what you implied, WE know what you implied, but sure, go ahead and try to tell us now that you
really meant "supply clerk slot" and not "pilot slot".
Good luck with that angle. Still a terrible idea.
Why? Because at the end of the day, even with all your "networking", when it comes time to fill out the "military sorties flown" you'll still have to put in "zero".
And how does THAT differentiate you from any any other veteran, enlisted or non-flying officer?
It doesn't.
