Ok, so here's my situation: I'm a low time (700 hours) furloughed ERJ pilot who is 25 years old with a college degree. I've talked to the army, and tried once upon a time to fly for the air force via ROTC, but it was too competitive. I want to get into some military flying now, but am afriad the current budget crunch/UAV phenomenon makes it hard to get a staight shot in. What I would really adore is to fly for the coast guard or national guard, but their recruiters are proving to be unreachable or don't follow up. How can I get an honest to God flying gig??? I've tried the Air National guard Recruiter, they too do no seem interested in making things happen. Am I just doing this wrong?
