Yeah, 2 years ago what Ug said held on the Marine Hornet side. Last year they cut back 20% on the Hornet pilots they selected, which coincidently corresponded to the shut down of 3 reserve and 1 AD Hornet squadron, and another Hornet squadron potentially on the chopping block.
Again, I'm really hoping for that golden handshake out the door, for me it will be roughly equivalent to 1 year of pay. Gut feeling is I'm going to get selected though, just so I can screwed over one more time.
