Duke,
I am pilot in the IDANG in Boise. After over 11 years AD, I left, guard bummed for a couple of years and have recently been hired by a Memphis based air cargo outfit. The 190 FS has a few guys who work for FedEx, so if you can find it to Boise, enjoy the Idaho lifestyle and get the boys here to give you recommendations for FedEx, life could definitely take a turn for you. Nothing is guaranteed, nothing. Not the Air Force, not the airlines, not tomorrow. I know it is a cliche, but life is a journey. I enjoyed my Active Duty time, but have also enjoyed my guard time, and look forward to flying purple jets full of boxes. My wife and kids have become a much greater part of my life since I left AD. Also, the 190th does not have a heavy deployment schedule. Call some of your contacts and ask them. Incidently, I was the guy who received the remains of our (IDANG) ASOS guy from Kuwait at Dover one cold night in the spring of 2003. I think you probably knew him. Good luck with your decisions.
