[QUOTE="AV-8R, post: 3875048, member: 51166"] Wow. Lots of replies and advice. Your son should certainly give it a try. As far as all the recommendations about his job choice, the guard will let him know what his choices are and he can make his own choice, that may tip the scales on his pursuit for the Guard or not. I went into the Marine Corps wanting to fly jets. That meant graduating top 10% in ground school, then top 10% in basic flight, then top 10% in intermediate strike, then top 10% in advanced strike flight school - to select jets. One way I knew I would NEVER , EVER fly a single seat jet was to not bother since the odds were so high against me. You only live once, so I gave it my best shot. Luckily, God saw fit to let me beet the odds and I spent over 25 years in the Corps flying jets and retired as a Colonel. If he want's to do it but the chances look slim - one way to know you WON'T do it is to never try. [/QUOTE]
