"but I've seen what active duty is all about and I have absolutely no desire to do anything, but fly"
Fly6784 -
I have to disagree with the above sentence. If all you have done is UPT - you have not seen the "fleet" the AD force or anything else that you want to call it. Even if you are prior enlisted - you have not seen AD from the view that you are about to see it!
FAIPing is not my favorite thing either - the whole concept of it but I understand the need and it seems to be a pretty good program in the military; but I have to say - I wanted to get out to a "fleet" squadron as son as possible. That is what I joined for.
I feel for the not wanting to be a "company man" and only wanting to fly - and no one should complain about your dedication to the service or your country if you are wiling to give up 10+ years of your life in service - so if it is your plan to leave after 10 years and pursue a professional flying career then more power to you.
Good luck in your decision.
