gator274 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 If you want to fly as a reservist and don't want to go active duty at all your choices are the Army Reserves/National Guard or the Air Force Reserves/National Guard. The Navy and Marine Corps require that their pilots spend a stint on active duty before being able to transfer to the reserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT_15U20 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Go here, I think they have a reserve program. It is called Blue 21 Flight Initiative. http://www.gocoastguard.com/find-your-fit/...ight-initiative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakejke Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I have also wanted to fly in the Military but I'm too old. Why is that? They will take someone with no experience but will not with someone with some experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The services want young folks for a couple of reasons. They put you through rigorous training, and they don't want to have to get rid of your old bad habits.

FLHooker Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Not to mention, the supposed Max age for the Army right now is what? 32/33 something like that... A good buddy of mine going through flight school was 39. He had 21 years in the Army, and got an age waiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
