I have never insinuated one should lie in a interview or to a detailer. My posts have stated the opposite.

Family is absolutely more important on a personal level. The military or the airlines ultimately do not care about your personal desires though. The present debate is whether the organizations involved benefit from use of the program, not the individual.

I hope key leaders read this thread. I never would have floated the idea on a open forum if I was trying to conceal anything. Let them consider the merits of letting someone use said program for what I proposed and act accordingly.

I am a current FTS guy and was a traditional reservist before that. Not trying to screw anyone over in the slightest. In fact when I posed this idea to the traditional guys in my squadron, all said they would do it if able.

It's comical for me to see this holier than thou attitude from the reserve guys on this thread. In the last 5 years of being involved with the reserves, I've regularly seen traditional guys pull way shadier "scams" than anything I've proposed here. Don't worry too much about the stellar traditional reserve reputation being tarnished by a program that can only be used by Active/FTS members.

Change is coming though. As scary as it may be to some.
