Wondering a bit about what career opportunities get closed if you go Guard rather than Active Duty. Are some of the items below still possible if you are in the Guard?
- Exchange tour (Navy or foreign)
- Test Pilot School
- Thunderbirds/Demo Team
- Overseas assignment (Europe, Korea, Japan)
- Pentagon assignment
One of the drawbacks I see to the Guard is being based out of the same place and doing the same thing for 20 years. Is being interested in some of the items above enough to consider Active Duty over the Guard?
