Looking for info about how a Navy Lieutenant (E-2 pilot with prior training in T-44's) could transition to the Air Force from the Navy at the end of obligated service...preferably to fly C-130's.
Specifically, I'd like to know how it could it be done (i.e. would I have to know somebody important?), would platform assignment be known before accepting orders for training? what would the committment be? possible locations for service and any obvious pros/cons (e.g. would my flight pay rate still be kept at the 8 year mark?).
I've had enough of ships and I really want to stay in the cockpit (i.e. and avoid the non-flying sea tour) but don't want out of the military altogether. I don't mind deployments overseas...just as long as it's not aboard one of those billion dollar floating stairmasters.
I already have lots of good info on the Coast Guard DCA program.
