Heard nothing but great things about entire 176th, but the only part I know is the 249th (C17), been working with them for years. Great unit, great group of guys, you'd have a great time.

Flying is more than 1 weekend a month/ 2 weeks a year. I think it will be a challenge as a college student. Granted, more you work more money you make, which is a good thing. Just be aware the commitment you'd be buying into.

When you say you want to go active when you finish college that brings up 2 questions:

1--Why in the world would you want to do that?

2--Active as a load, or would you seek a commission?

Keep in mind the guard recruits for the guard, you might not want to mention your intent to go active once you finish college.
