well, maybe...but it appeared as though his sons were already going active duty. i have many buddies who are guard pilots, and getting a full time guard gig is very hard. most guard guys i know that got full time gigs had to transfer units to do so. (A-10's and F-16's).

you have a better chance of getting a guard slot of your choice if you have 10 years of active duty under your belt. guard slots have become wicked competitive in the last 3 years. ...plus at that point, at 10 years active duty, you have a good chance of being picked up by UPS (if they're hiring), and bypassing a crap regional/corporate gig.
