Ya I'd definitely apply to out of state units I am from Montana and we have a c-130 unit a couple hours away, but I still want to get out and explore some where new. I'd love to fly fighters but we will see if that changes over the next couple years and how competitive it is. At this point I'm thinking of majoring in aeronautical engineering does anyone have any suggestions as to if this is a good idea. Besides the obvious do well in school and build as much flight time as possible is there anything else I should be doing to build a very strong resume for guard units?
