Wierd F15 noise
F100 CENC makes the noise She's likely hearing the nozzle on the F100 engine opening a bit and closing a bit as slight throttle changes are made on short final. The nozzle on the F100 is controlled by the CENC (Convergent Exhaust Nozzle Control) which is driven by bleed air from the compressor... -
MFS at Brooks
Brooks Ryan, I'll be going to Brooks Oct 31st. I haven't been to AMS yet. I think the standard procedure is Brooks and then AMS. I think it's because they want to know if you're medically qualified before they send you to AMS. Later, Flaco -

Go guard or stay airline
Dude, No hard feelings. I'm not afraid of the competition (already have a UPT slot). It just seems like every other post on this message board and the one over at studentpilot.net is "I was furloughed from XYZ airline and I'm 29 1/2 and now I want to fly for the Guard to keep me flying... -
Go guard or stay airline
Lifelong dream? If it was a "lifelong dream" to fly military, why didn't you do it earlier? Flaco Seems like everyone comes out of the woodwork when the airline industry is down. -

Based on this, should I join or not?

Accepting/Declining Guard Slots
I am going to interview (hopefully) with more than one Guard unit this summer. If I happen to get accepted on my first interview (could be early May), can I still interview at other units later on and accept if I get the slot? If so, how should I go about declining the other unit's slot? If I... -
