I am not a recruiter, nor a pilot. However I have looked at that possibility. Alot of the units PREFER guys who have at least a PPL. However some units dont require it. I spoke with the 161st in phx and they said, they prefer PPLs but not necessary. They're looking more at the individual, their personality, traits, how they get along with others, and their desire to get someone who will want to stay for a long period of time.
If your interested in the ANG AFR, find the contact information and contact the squadron directly. They can give you more information about their wants needs and desires better than a recruiter. Often times, they'll host an open house so to speak so applicants can meet the rest of the guys and they can get familiar with you and see on a very basic level if youd be a suitable fit for the squadron. You can also sometimes, request to get a tour during a drill weekend and see what it's all about, while getting to know the guys there.
