The only thing more effed up than the C-27 FAC program is the USAF Tanker program.
Some Army Guard units are getting the C-27. Many, who need it most, are stuck with the C-23. We can thank the Active Army and USAF for screwing the Guard.

Updated Advice
Hi all, I appreciate all the input as much as the poster. I am putting together a WO packet. I am finishing a BA and have Inst., Comm., and Multi. I have been wondering about how to get into FW, in the Army (only because USAF doesn't offer a guaranteed contract for a flight school slot). I was just hoping for some help and mostly updated info, since most posts were a couple years ago. RW is a thrilling concept to me, but I am hoping to at least go FW sometime down the road. Would Army Res. be a better option for me? And if I go active RW, then what airframe is recommended? (Army and Airline pilots point of view) I heard that the OH-58's don't get much flight time unless they are deployed, or we are "at war", and that is the airframe I had my eye on...
I appreciate any input!

A bit off the thread, but would the arng put a former usaf fixed wing pilot through initial rotor wing course or a rotor wing qual course. Also what would be the age cut off since I've been out of the usaf for 6 years and pushing 40? Thanks for your inputs.

Well, you never know, but I seriously doubt it. Last I heard, the cutoff was 36 with a waiver. There is a reserve C-12 unit in down in LA that might be able to tell you the current deal.
