T-Tail,

Awesome, now their are two of us out there. Go Colonels and Go Big Blue!!

I've thought about the Guard/Reserve. I've thought about contacting some guys that I know in the Boise ANG. We've bought some land out there and plan on retiring in that area....it's just a matter of when.

Everybody tells me that the Guard isn't what it used to be though. I've heard those guys deploy pretty often too now that we've got this "total force" thing going on in the AF. But, I guess everything's (guard/active duty/airlines/ etc) not "what it used to be."

I haven't done any research on the airlines in that area yet so don't know what living and commuting in that area would be like. I imagine I'd have to get hired by an airline that flys out of Salt Lake City.
