That's the beauty of the ANG...any other military pilot job requires you to sign up, incur a comittment, and attend training BEFORE you find out what type of aircraft you will fly. With the ANG, you join a unit that flies a particular aircraft type, and go to AF flight school already guaranteed that aircraft. If you wash out you may or may not incur a small comittment as a ground-pounder, but I doubt it.
