Navy takes Lasik. If you want to go guard enlist while you going to school and then let the Af pay for your ratings. Or go rotc and go Ad. Question for the fighter guard guys is 500 hrs in a six month deployment rare?

Yes, I would say it is rare. Guard fighter guys don't usually do 6 month deployments unless their unit is activated under title 10 authority.

For any fighter unit, that's a lot of flying. Almost 20 hours per week for 6 months is a pretty heavy schedule. 3 x 6+ hour AOR sorties each week or almost daily sorties of 3-4 hours doesn't seem like a sustainable schedule, in my opinion. It could be done, but I think it would be rare.
