How is the transition from navy to AF guard? Were you able to transfer your commission or did you have to start from scratch?

My former AF Reserve unit hired from all branches and airframes. If you are a commissioned officer, you join the ANG or AFRsv in that rank. No starting over.

I'm starting to question if you've actually been in the military or not... :D I kid, I kid.

To the OP, I would consider applying for pilot spots in the ANG and see what happens. Realize that you'll have to get waivers if you had > 5 years of total federal commissioned service and if you're over 30, but I have seen those aplenty with former NAVs/CSOs. Also realize that the poster above that took 10 years from UPT graduation to get the the airline may have had more to do with timing. That said, I'd find a ANG/Reserve squadron to hire you, then consider the regionals to build time fast. Best of luck!

The sober part is a relatively new thing...
