Merle, cliffnotes on why you prefer AFRC over the ANG for a curious mind?
On a semi-related note, for anyone currently in a Guard or Reserve unit, could you detail your experience with the SCROLL process? Who you initiated the process with and timeline? Frosty good luck! It sounds like you're definitely a worthy candidate to be hired. You have in bass ackwards, ANG is much better than AFRC. The new Reserve SUPT application process is a bit convoluted. In the past a Reserve unit would hire X college grad to send to SUPT and help X along the way. The new centralized Reserve SUPT selection/hiring process somewhat removes the local unit from vetting/hiring X. The guard still hires and vetts internally. Also, the Guard does a much better job promoting people. If Guard unit X has 5 open O-5 slots, 5 people get promoted (and promoted earlier than their Reserve peers). The Reserve has the centralized promotion system. Pilot Y may or may not make O-5 due to this centralized system - even if pilot Y is in a unit with several open O-5 billets. I know several pilots that left active duty and pinned on O-5, in the Guard, at least 2 years before their Reserve peers. I also know tons of Reservist pilots that either did not make O-5 or pinned on after their 2nd or 3rd board. The Guard simply does it better. The SCROLL, Ha! Another horribly archaic assinine Reserve burden. |
To clarify, I'm not picky about location and I would prefer Reserve because I believe they travel world-wide more than Guard (I could be wrong) but I am open to getting a Guard position as well. Also i'm not particularly concerned with how fast I make rank. Money/rank is secondary to having a fun mission and traveling the world imo. I would also like to stick with either C-17s, C-130s, bombers, or KC-135s in that order. If anyone knows of pilot boards coming up i'd greatly appreciate any info, i'm currently having to cold-email every unit i'm interested in and try and find the right person with board info.
