106th hiring
The hiring at the 106th for pilots is NOT done by the recruiter. You have to make contact with the OPS guys and then "pledge" your way in. I suggest you talk to both the Squadron commanders or DO's on the phone, go visit on a weekday they are there and show some interest.
Hiring at Gabreski is sporadic and when they find a good candidate, they make things happen. Right now, there are many former Army guys on the helicopter side (one that flew C-12's on AD) while the 130 side has everything from former phrog drivers to jet jockeys. I recommend you call LtCol Weinberger at 631 723 7404 and LtCol Nolan at 631 723 7362. They are the DO's and know what is going on.
Good luck.
