As some of you know currently I'm a flight instructor training AirForce initials. I only have about 800hrs right now. I have everything through my commercial multi to CFI/CFII. No MEI. When this gig of training these guys is up, and it will eventually end, I will obviously be going out there and finding myself a job. However when this job ends I'll be hit with a moment of unemployment. I was thinking that would be a good time to join the reserves. I don't know anyone that has done it and don't know what is required. I was reading on the afreserve.com website but it seemed all positive and didn't point out any of the negatives.

I graduated from Baylor University with a bachelor's in Aviation Sciences. I know they require a 4yr degree so I've got that. What do I do now? I live in Del Rio, Texas by Laughland AF base. I know there is a wing of heavy's in San Antonio and I heard there was a F-16 wing in Houston. How do I get the ball rolling to get more information? Also would I be making a mistake by joining the reserves? I know they require time of you which isn't that big of a deal but I'm wondering if any reservist have had issues getting civil jobs because the hiring employeer knew they would be gone from time to time.

Any info would help.

Thanks guys,
