2) Will you receive international per diem when you are based in Guam?
3) What version of the 73 do they fly in Guam?
4) I'm a military guy and have spent many months in Guam in the last 6 years so I'm pretty familiar with life on the island. Being in the guard though, requires me to be home for quarterly drills and to stay current flying. Is it possible to run reserve days together so that I would be off the last week of one month and the first week of the next (best case) or at least have 10 days off in a row to get back to my guard base? In your opinion is this even something that's doable or am I being overly optimistic?
To question 4, there used to be a LtCol that lived on the island but was attached to another tanker unit stateside and she would fly with the EARS to stay current. That could be an option for you if fly the tanker.
