Greetings All,
First, I would like to thank everyone in this community for providing me with the guidance, support, and knowledge necessary to pursue my dream. Long story short, I was recently hired by a C-130 unit in the Air Force Reserve. I am extremely excited about this new opportunity, however I would like to hear your inputs as it will shape the next ten years of my life as well as my family's. My deciding factors for choosing the right unit are in order of location, full time opportunity, and airframe. Your deciding factors maybe different but I would still love to hear your inputs. I already do have an idea for the locations listed below but I am not so keen on the airframes. And yes, I would like to fly for an airline one day however "when" is still undecided - after twenty years (my previous service + 11 years as an AGR) or as soon as I hit the R-ATP 750hrs. Thanks again everyone!
