Man, those recruiters will tell you anything, it seems like.
The recruiters on chat on the website had me convinced that in a year away from my civilian job I could be fully trained and active as a weekend reservist pilot [returning then to my civilian job], flying a few weekends a month and some other pseudo-optional activities during the summer.
The notion of having 3 years away from my civilian job isn't necessarily deal-breaking, but it's upsetting that the recruiters hardly agree with one another, much less with people who've actually been through the process...
