    Currently coming from AF and trying to go army 153A. It’s a terrifying process. You feel like at any step they’ll reject you. Watching stuff like this keeps me motivated and hopefully in the near future we’ll see each other in the skies!

      Any chance you’d be willing to share your process? I’m in Mississippi and looking into flying for the guard, but info is extremely skewed all over the place. Biggest problem is my age, and when I say “problem”, it’s only because I honestly think I’d end up VERY close to needing a waiver (if they even grant those on the aviation side). Anyway, any and all help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks a bunch, and congratulations!!!

    • @jalenheggs3422

      @@skylerhorner8796 it’s going to depend on the state as far as the waiver. How bad they need pilot spots filled and how many people are actually attempting to apply for those slots. If I were you I would go to an aviation unit in your state and ask those questions. You would need a senior warrant officer LOR anyways so them putting a face to a name would increase your chances anyways

      @@jalenheggs3422 not even sure any unit would be willing to meet with a civilian just to talk about an age waiver or an LOR, haha. A senior WO would definitely help, but they might not necessarily require it. I’ve got pilot friends in other branches who would be willing to write one (if that even makes a difference). I feel like the “it depends on the unit” statement is the most accurate thing about guard units in general. Some even have different age limits, so it gets meticulous. Therefore, if you’ve got some generic age info, or maybe even stories of other people who were granted waivers, that would help my hope at the very least, haha. Thanks again, brother

      It is possible to IST to any state. You will have to do some leg work before hand though. You will need to find a unit and get the paragraph and line number. And then work through your state to get released and Florida to take you in.

      Occasionally Guard units offer street to seat spots but it's dependent on the state. Not at all common in most states though. Best bet would be to find the place(s) where you'd want to be stationed and give them a call, can't hurt to ask.
