revaequitas Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 I'm trying to get some contact info for pilots up in Aberdeen PG. I'm trying to get a feel for what it's like to be a mech on the various platforms and would also know how selection goes for WO's which would be my ideal end state. I am working with a recruiter in SOMD and since I didn't take the UAV enlisted pilot spot he seems somewhat reluctant to put full effort in, which I can somewhat understand. He has made calls but to no avail at this point. Thank you in advance for your help and consideration. 1 Quote
Yamer Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 WHATEVER YOU DO, dont sign for an enlisted job you arent going to enjoy doing should your packet not make it. thats my only guard advice Quote
revaequitas Posted July 10, 2013 Author Posted July 10, 2013 Yeah I'm definitely not picking some random BS lol. I talked to a Cpt. Kiaunis today and he had some less than appealing info. He's said that I'm pretty much behind and missed the big "rush" as spots have dried up. He said they were taking about 9-11 a year and now they're down to 1-3 a year. I'm not too thrilled about the odds. Quote
Rob1237051 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Some states, like Indiana, have a critical shortage. You could always move to where the work is. Quote
revaequitas Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 Good point. My only issue with someplace like Indiana is that I'm sitting pretty on 35hr as a V-22 mech. Maybe I can look into DC and VA. 1 Quote
revaequitas Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 Well as it turns out, I just signed with the DC Guard and it's great to be back in some sort of form of the military lol. I'll be a 15T, not my first choice but there aren't many options at Belvoir Quote
Yamer Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 oh $(-)!+ another tango on the streets.... welcome back bud Quote
revaequitas Posted September 25, 2013 Author Posted September 25, 2013 Thanks man, although like I said, it's not ideal but it'll do. Quote
Yamer Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 I think you'll find it fits well with your V-22 past... Here's a video for everyone to enjoy... I don't think I can retrieve those last few minutes of watching it... Quote
