Congratulations! You're going to have a lot of fun, especially if you get C-130s, which I highly recommend. Don't forget your goals. The enlisted ranks are chock full of people who only intended to serve one tour and punch. They served long, honorable careers, and they deserve to be commended for it - but, still, for many they didn't start off thinking of being in for 20. Get your degree ASAP. Don't procrastinate, as it will get harder the longer you stay in. Your goal should be to have your degree completed by the time your enlistment is up. That will give you max flexibility.

If you get assigned to an associate unit, cultivate a relationship with your ANG/AFRC counterparts. Their opinion of you could have a major impact on becoming a pilot. Good luck.
