Do you find that a certain community seems to make the tranisition more often than others? Helo from the USA? Jets from the USN? Heavies from the USAF?

The majority of our prior service folks are ex Army helo drivers. I was actually surprised at how many prior service folks make up CG aviation. At my first unit it seemed like over half of the helicopter pilots were former Army guys.
As far as other services they're not represented nearly as much as the Army. However, we have a few ex AF folks that flew heavies and we have a few ex USN & Marine helo and jet pilots.
I think the cut in rank back to O-2 deters a lot of potential applicants from some of the other services.
