Another free advice to throw your way...avoid TFI'd units... like the plague. Not so much the active associate units, but do steer clear of the classic associate units. They're part-time Active Duty, there's nothing reserve about it anymore.

If I had a decent civi job (one I could bank on not being gone tomorrow that is) lined up I would have done like some of the previous posters and jumped ship to a non-TFI unit already...Let me tell you, if your day to day money plan is set with a civi job and all you're trying to get out of this gig is doing IDT and going home, believe me there's easier places to go and burn 96 IDT and 15 AT periods than being some general's pet project at a TFI unit, at the expense of your flying and career. Go sail a boat with less flying, more AD qweep for the same 60% of an AD paycheck everybody else is getting....
