DAMN RIGHT! :beer:

I know the program is only in its first few years, but has there been any talk of a follow on from the CV-22 or will it be similar to the HH-60? I read that some of the initial cadre was pulled from the Herk. Is there a chance to get to a MC-130, U-28, or some other AFSOC airframe?

As the title says. As a MXS grunt having never been to SERE what is generally in the bag in the AOR? Specifically is there a sleeping bag out there that has a consensus? Cheers, DD

Three star live on the tv up here said "Yes it was a demonstration profile for the Airshow". Recap of the rest: Not releasing any other information at this time pending the search for more information. Thoughts to flyers and families :beer:

Guys, Thanks for the replies it puts my mind a little bit more at ease that this path has been tried before and worked for others. I am wondering if all or any of you got into UPT straight out of OTS? I think I am in a fairly similar position to what you have all described. I am in E/E and have been in MXS since I got into the ANG but have really yet to meet or become known with any of the OPS squadron. Just recently a friend and PriorE got picked up from inside our wing to got to UPT. I asked him about your comments of having the OPS (sq/cc) or a close proximate to write an LOR and he agreed that one of the things he was told to do before his board was just to go to the OPS section and start introducing himself and getting to know the pilots. I do already have my ppl. and should be in the 130-150 hr range when I get ready next summer to apply. Also with all of you having seen at least one full enlistment out through the ANG what do you think of now being AD? I am hoping the ability to relocate and really see different places will be a welcome event. Thanks again for the info I welcome anything else you can remember about the process or the transition but I am sure I will pm sometime soon with other ?s. Cheers, DD

All, I have been reading and watching this forum on and off again for a couple of years and I am not sure if I have seen this question come up. I am currently an E-5 in the ANG and have been in just at 8 years. I am one semester from a degree in engineering that took longer and was way harder than I thought. I plan on applying to OTS for a rated (pilot) postion next year after graduation and at the end of my 3 year extension. My reason for the post, and question is if anyone has taken this route or knows whether the 9 years in the ANG will help or hurt my OTS chances? Thanks, DaReDeViLeNg1
