It is pretty easy to see who flies what through response. I am certain that if I am offered the fighter I will take it.
My concern is just game planning for the future for when the seasoning days run out. I am not one of these dillusional guard babies who thinks they will get a technician slot after those days end.
Apparently, in the C-130 world, I should get plenty of opprotunites to bum on trips around the country and in the theater. In the fighter, I would be out on my own w/ low time (maybe 800 hours).

Hey guys, I am new here
I am a 135 Guard Guy about to graduate from UPT, and I am trying to look at my options after my 5 fun months in BFOK. My unit was brac'd and is going from a superwing to just the one squadron, so it looks like my bumming options might be limited. Anyways I am thinking of a couple regionals, but I dont want to commute to both jobs if I can help it. Any you guys got any ideas? I have some thoughts but I'd like to see if there is anything that I havent thought of.
Thanks in advance

BTW, I'm a former heavy equipment operator; KC-135, T-38 IP (not so heavy), RC-135.

Dutch, Ask yourself. Do you want to fly around the flagpole at some AFB in a fighter getting 1.0 per sortie or do you want to travel the world and see stuff? Also, do not bother wasting the $$ right now to rent an aircraft for 50-100 hrs of flight time. Have Uncle Sam pay for it fo the next few years.
