Here is a Guard related question....

Have Guard pilots ever shown a greater tendency to have a more difficult time maintaining the required physical fitness levels for the job? I'm *assuming* that Guard guys/gals don't get to fly as often as AD folks. And on a related note, I imagine that keeping your body acclimated to the extreme forces may be tougher as well.

Perhaps there would be a greater need (generally speaking) for a pretty regular fitness routine for the Guard folks to follow between flying work days.

And man...as good as the Guard job sounds from the way its being sold in here...It sounds equally as hard to get picked for. Especially me being a civi with low flight time.
