Shortbus, why do you think all active duty guys think that guard guys take slots? The vast majority of people understand that guard dudes have no effect on the number of -38 slots. The ones that are bothered are the ones that weren't good enough to get a -38. That being said...if I had just missed a -38 while the guard dude who finished 12th got to go to fighters...I would have been pissed, then I would have promply gotten over it.
Also, if a guard guy isn't good enough to get his -38 slot, that particular slot will go to an AD person. The guard will get an AD slot later down the road as a trade.
