Did a search and only came up with discussions about active associate units. Any Guard/Reserve bubbas gone through the transition to a classic associate? The TFI sh$t sandwich has finally knocked on my door and it smells rancid from where I sit, so I'm trying to get a feel from those BTDT about the matter......
So far I hear it's pretty much what it looks like on paper. AD rules, AD bullsh$t, less flying, sh%tty MX, and OBVIOUSLY less pay than the AD dude, swell.....do more with less for the part-timer/bum basically. From my conversations bullsh5ting around with the bra's the F-22 dudes in one f%ckin hate it, and the only reason the Missouri Eagle-turned-B2 guys aren't piping up is cause they all got AGRs to keep happy and that's the only reason that one works. The rest I hear is working like a botched abortion. I like the idea of AGRs for all but we got squashed on that proposal so far, f'ing standard blue for the heavy guys...... Feel free to dispell or add on to these ideas and sentiments if you happen to have some insight into the classic associate experience.
All I see right now is a bunch of people punching left and right of me and it's making me nervous, the thing hasn't even come down and folks are bailing, maybe they know what I'm trying to rationalize away, or maybe it won't be as bad. Any war stories on the matter is greatly appreciated. I'd hate to have to put my family through the hardship of a forced move with a happy working wife but I didn't sign up to be AD fodder for half the pay; coming home f%ckin miserable and pissed all day won't make my marriage a lasting one. Again, appreciate any insight.
