ANG first, then USAFR... you get to pick your plane and base, and work on civilian your career in parallel. So you retain most of the control of your life (unless WW-III).
Rick, you are funny... You must have missed my first post. I am an old man (45 years old). I did 4 years in the US Air Force (enlisted as a firefighter). The recruiters laugh me out of their office now because I am so old. LOL! I'll probably be 48 or 49 years old when I am going to have enough flight hours to qualify for a starter Pilot job. At that point I will have finished my 29 year job as a firefighter. Kind of a unique situation... Thanks for your insight though.
