Transitioning Airframes Guard/Reserves

[Rated Flyer 4 Life]

Anyone have experience with transitioning airframes in their career with the guard/reserve? How long did you give a unit before you made the switch? How hard is it to go from fighter to heavy or heavy to fighter/bomber?

All doable, depends on needs of the unit you want to go to. Hopefully your current CC is supportive and will go to bat for you with the other CC. A dude from another jet is coming to us, decision made about 3-4 months out from TX date. It will be a tough battle to go from heavy to fighter, but it’s not impossible. Can’t comment personally on the difficulty of the other direction, but I do know two guys who left fighters and didn’t have problems getting hired.

Well good to know it’s not impossible. I guess you have to just find units where it all lines up. Seems like timing is everything. 
 

if I a guy were to transition from heavy to fighter what would the process look like?
