Guard officer to active duty

[grasselka]

Hi everyone, new to the forum. I just graduated from UCT in Pensacola as a guard C130 NAV. Having spent the year on orders with all the active benefits I'm feeling like that's the best option for my family in the long run. Is there any conceivable way for me to go active duty as a guard NAV fresh out of school or maybe even go to UPT as an active duty pilot at this point? I do plan to start doing boards for UPT as I just got my PPL and my scores are very competitive. Any advice will help, thanks

No program exists for this currently - I was a former active duty officer who went guard, missed active duty life, and tried to get back on. AFPC doesn't have a special program for it ....which is beyond retarded. Best bet is to Guard bum or work your ass off to get a technician or AGR job

Call the C-130 porch, I'm sure there is something they can do.  As far as pilot training, never say never, but dude, you should have done that initially.
