Or timeframe dependent. I retired 6 months ago and the doctors retired 4 or 5 yrs before I did. And these weren’t flight docs, they were pilots that were civilian docs. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

They will be welcomed with open arms here!! Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I disagree. The doctors that were in my ANG unit never had a problem maintaining currencies. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Don’t drag the politics and COVID crap into this forum. You have plenty of other threads to do that. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Yep, saw that. Glad I could help the cause! Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Well I just came off training pay, so anything is a rather large pay raise. But I would prefer the new rate to be in effect now rather than later. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

A very good friend of mine is a Radiologist and retired from the ANG a few years ago. She misses flying, so she decides to throw her hat in the ring and has been hired by a regional. She plans to continue practicing medicine while flying. I believe her eventual goal is to get hired by a major. But nice to have medicine to supplement her income.

Just flew into Hong Kong earlier this week. Granted we only did a turn, download and upload. We don’t over night there now, may change later. No issues. Locals were masked up but friendly. No interaction with officials. Had 36 or so hours off in Incheon, which is where we typically RON. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Clean house up there. This is embarrassing and ridiculous. Looks like I retired at the right time. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Always take a day of the weekend completely off. No better way to enjoy that day off than flying your own airplane. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

The training center scheduling is a nightmare. I waited 5 days between rec ride and checkride. I am now waiting on scheduling to put my last 4 events on the schedule so I can finally go home. Been here 81 days and counting. Looking forward to hitting the line. My observation flight renewed my enthusiasm for getting out of here. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I can think of 4 or 5 off the top of my head that were worth their weight in gold. All are/were in the ANG with me. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I’ve been retired almost 3 months and I received a text, a phone call, and an email telling me it was a holiday. Time for them to get me off the notification lists. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

One of the greatest things about the ANG is being in the same place for all 20 years. That said, there are plenty of opportunities to go around, especially in the coming years as the airline hiring ramps up. Our OG receives opportunities all the time for random assignments. There are even more to be found if you seek them out. Not long ago, they were seeking volunteers to go to EUCOM for a 3-year AD assignment just to fill a pilot position (ie...not a staff job/embassy job/etc...). There are other opportunities for 30 day, 90 day, 180 day and 365 day assignments here and there. I was looking at a 180 days to Hickam...then I got my airline job so it didn't pan out. Another thing that is a great option is the State Partnership Program. Basically every state has a partner country or two and we have officers who fills a full time billet in each country as a part of that program. A UPT buddy did this gig in Estonia and absolutely loved it. Our two partner countries would be amazing assignments. I considered applying for it, but again the airlines called. It's mostly a sleepy little assignment with LOTS of opportunity to travel...you just have to wear your blues occasionally. 🤮 I did SPP for 4 yrs, 2 in country and then 2 as the Director at JFHQ. This was my entry point into the AGR program. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
