That said I'm still going to try to get into the ANG and get a fighter slot when my time is up. If only the Army had fighters...
Capt's and Majors? Heck, I know a Marine LtCol (Cobra pilot) who just resigned his commission to go be a warrant with the 160th at Fort Campbell. Talk about a pay cut. Some of you Army helo dudes are kicking in more teeth than anybody else.
