Look at the AF portal, REAMO site for a list of AGR spots, usajobs.gov will have ART jobs.

I think with UAVs on the upswing, year remotes forcing guys to exit at a staggering pace and guys like me turning down POS assignments and punching, the numbers don't indicate a future VSP for pilots, esp 11M. The ATA speaker from AFPC, Tate Johnson, chief of 11Ms, said we were about a thousand pilots short last year and had 900 additional taskings tacked on this year(UAV, white jet, AMLO, year remote). Math don't look good. The AF is slowly realizing there is a growing flood of guys leaving now as it is, for example, my squadron had 7 of 35 IPs punch for VSP 2006-2007, then 5 more got out this spring and 5 more leaning that way in the fall, with 3 total replacements. That means my buds in the C-130 FTU are hating life now, and no replacements expected this fall either.
