The Dover Reserves have openings, confirmed today. C-5M is the 709th; C-17 in the 326th.

Any former USAF pilots have recent experience joining ANG/AFRES after a break in service? I've been out for just under a year and I'm looking for advice. I have a few lines in the water for jobs and hope to have something secured in the next month. I expect ANG would be quicker to be gained than AFRES due to the AFRES scroll process. Anyone have recent timelines?

Scroll can take a while, but I know a guy that came back after an almost 8 year break in service.

As I posted earlier, C-5 at DOV is almost always hiring, but can’t say since they reduced the fleet.

After 5 years, there’s a requirement to run a mini-FEB, not adversarial, just a formal board to do the records review and an interview. That then has to be reviewed at approved at HHQ. Same process for USN or USMC, conversions. I think the legal term is Aeronautical Rating Board
