So I got the call today, I was selected to fly A-10s in the Guard. Those of you who I've PM'd with may remember that this was my first choice, and I want to thank everyone who offered up their advice. I've been on this board for nearly 4 years now and changed directions a couple times, but this is ultimately what I wanted the most.
Now the real challenge begins, getting through the training program! I'll be asking plenty more questions as time goes on, and I'm sure you gents will be as valuable as you've been in the past when it comes to handing down sound advice.
It'll be a long wait; it's a FY08 slot, so I figure I'll be off to UPT in 9 months to a year. That gives me plenty of time to get prepared.
There will be a brief celebration, but I realize that getting hired will seem rather easy compared to the challenges that I face at UPT.
Thanks again for everyone's insight and advice!
