Thanks Kasserine, you hit the nail directly on the head, that is the exact situation that I am in. I want to wait for AD, but if I lose my current job and there could be up to 8 months before I go to OTS for an active duty slot, and I am looking for something to do in that time--not join a guard unit in the meantime. If I got the charter job and they wanted me to stick around, that is when I would grit my teeth and repeat the process again to try for a slot in the Guard and Reserve. Sorry it takes so long between posts, I do not have internet at my home and I must use the computers at work during my downtime.

Thanks to all who posted
