Here's the story/question in short.
Atteneded UPT out of ROTC and was DQ'd for lack of adaptation due to airsickness (flew <40 hrs into program). Pursued civilian ratings up through CFI. Attended IERW (Helicopter Flight School) for Army National Guard to fly helicopters. Did well, no problems, Graduated as an Army Aviator.
Here's the dumb question. Would I be eligible to apply for a Fixed Wing Qual to an Air Guard/Reserve unit? On one hand, I believe that being DQ'd from UPT is a "lifetime ban" against repeat attempts. On the other, would being a rated military aviator make me eligible for FWQ (If a unit would want to pick me up). I appreciate any input.
