Hopefully the Navres has gotten away from the idea that you have to mirror the active side in career progression and you are too senior if you are LCDR or higher. The AFres and Guard has no such issue. Of course this may be why they have all of the openings.

Amen to that!

I got shot down by the Gulfstream Unit at NAF Andrews a few years ago and was a current type rated Gulfstream guy with my civilian job! Oh but I was an 0-5...Aw well, the Nav has always treated well none the less, Good luck dudes,

Why is this on the majors board?

yea, Navy Res leadership lives in a fantasy world. now that the economy is tanking and airlines jobs are not available no one is leaving active duty. They need bodies and few are available.

Those that left in the past to join the reserves were expected to drill all the freaking time and pay 90 bucks a month for health insurance. After a few years they thank you by booting you and hiring a junior member all under the guise of career progression. Its simple math, the junior guy is cheaper and willing to put up with more reserve crap. Admiral Cotton was the Navy Res typical clueless leader, we'll see if the next guy rights the ship. x c-12 guy

Think they'd hire a 50 year old willing to be an ensign who's typed in the C-37 and C-20F...?

Yeah, I didn't think so, either. TC

 

[psysicx]

Are these tough jobs to get full time?

 

[FBN0223]

Disregard

For those wondering if it has changed, no it hasn't.

taxi1wire, thank your lucky stars you didn't get picked up by unit at Andrews. Not many happy people there.

O-5s have never been eligible (at least in my era). Junior, most qualified is the norm. You should know that (or they should have told you that when you applied). SELRES O-5s (and for that matter FOS'd O-3s) only have so much time they can soak up in the Navy. FOS'd O-4s on the other hand are like Herpes.

Every squadron that looks at a candidate has to take into account the amount of "work" they can get out of him/her before they need to move up/out.



BTW -- WHY THE F IS THIS ON THE MAJORS BOARD?

haven't you heard of Shrinkage.....

Haven't they heard of shrikage??????

To answer some others, yes you still CDR out of the reserves, but to fix that they have been more stingy with 05 than in the past. Why do they do that, cause they can...

To answer the question about full time, you have to first either be a reservist who is recalled to full time or in active duty navy and ask for a transfer to FTS (the new name for TAR).

To answer mr awolbush, the reason I posted in majors is it turns out that there are a few prior service pilots now holding down major airline jobs. Thanks for YOUR contribution to our nation though.....
