I liked it. I flew in four different Army reserve (read USAR, not ARNG) units and it just depends on the unit. The Assault Bn would let you fly about 1.5 hours once or twice a week x 4 times a moth and about 3.0 on drill weekends. That's about it. You don't build much time in Army aviation. The Army just doesn't fund flying hours as much as they should. You're an aerial weapons platform transporter, not an aircraft. But I worked with some of the finest people I ever met and had more responsibility than I wished I had. You will most certainly deploy, anywhere from 6-12 months, possibly the same year you join the unit fresh out of flight school. TDY will be mainly short term and voluntary, like for schools.psysicx said:Is it really that bad?Will someone who is in the Army Reseve post.I know that you have to fly an average of 5 days a month.
