A little about myself to preface my question:

I'm a Army NG warrant of 5 years, looking to make the fixed wing transition. After talking with some colleagues, I think my best option would be to transfer to the reserves, due to the higher volume of fixed wing aircraft, as compared to individual guard units. I would like to stay close to NC if possible, so i assume the ft Bragg unit would be ideal. Im also not opposed to Denver/ colorado springs area. I heard that the Los Alaminos unit might be relocating there, but havent heard anything concrete. I am participating in the rotor transition program on the civilian side, and have already signed on board with a regional. My time building and ratings are complete, so I just need to go to IOT. I have approx. 850TT, 600 rotor, 250 FW. I'm a PC on the military side.

My question is somewhat two folded. What is the availability looking like for FW warrants on the reserve side? Is there someone that could point me in the right direction, for getting the possess started? I unfortunately do not have any contacts on the FW side of the house. My father is a retired aviator from the army FW community, but he's been retired for 10+ years, and no longer knows anyone in those units.

If there is anyone that knows something about the process, and would be willing to extend some mentorship, i would greatly appreciate it.
