Dude, you have no commitment with the ANG. They may say you do, but in reality they cannot stop you from gettin gup and leaving. I have seen it done a dozen times. Once in a while the unit will get pissed, but if you are open with them, give them at least 3 or 4 years of good hard work, they usually understand

No commitment at all? During my interviews, they were very upfront with me telling me that I had a 10 year commitment with them. I did a little more research and found out that you can switch units within this time and they can't stop you. They won't like it, because your training came out of their budget and then they have to train a new pilot to replace you, but you can transfer. I tried finding the sit that gives the pilot commitments, but I could only find this site. It shows that there is at least a 4 year commitment as a non-rated officer.

I have seen many pilots bail. I sure as hell wouldnt............................BUT like the other gentleman said you could end up getting blackballed. Remember, ANG units are full, and I mean FULL of Airline pilots. Im sure if you left after 8 years or so, they wouldnt raise much hell. like they would if yo uleft after 2 For the most part, if you dont want to be there, well the Guard doesnt want you there either. That my friends is the major difference between AD and the Guard. Well, that and a major disobedience of regs
