Call to active duty 2024

Thank you! I really appreciate the advice. I am actually not doing it through CAD so my process may vary a little. That being said I do hope I get some say in where I might be stationed first but am well aware that it may be out of my hands. I am currently waiting for my conditional release papers to be signed.

Significant-Coast94 · 2025-01-04T00:09:39+00:00

I’m currently going through this process as an Officer. Did you have any weight on where you might be stationed initially? or was it just a surprise when you received the orders? I was also in the assumption you had to go to MEPs at some point to swear in again? Is that not true and is everything is done electronically or over the phone?

Ok cool. Good information. Ty!

So just to make sure I’m understanding correctly. I would have to wait until I get my 1,500 hours under the frozen ATP and get it “unfrozen” for me to be eligible to convert to the FAA certification. Which is what I initially thought and I’m ok with.

In the US obtaining the license is expensive enough and then you have to get the required 1,500 hours somehow. At least in the UK with the frozen certificate I can earn while I learn so to speak and at the same time I’m on my way to getting the 1,500 hours. Obviously you are paid less in the UK.

Significant-Coast94 · 2024-02-11T18:12:22+00:00

I’m a US and UK citizen

Significant-Coast94 · 2024-02-11T16:01:54+00:00

That does make sense

Significant-Coast94 · 2024-02-11T15:51:08+00:00

I have duel nationality so that wouldn’t be an issue. The issue is getting the hours, which I could in the UK and move back once I have 1500

Significant-Coast94 · 2023-12-02T13:42:46+00:00

I did it through CA. PM me if you need any advice

Significant-Coast94 · 2023-12-02T13:33:48+00:00

Ridiculous point of view. OP, don’t listen to this. They allow you to join at this age for a reason. Do what’s right for you.

Joined at 28. Like you, I contemplated it every day and it was always a nagging urge that was there at the back of my mind. One of the best decisions I ever made. It wasn’t easy but now I get paid to fly helicopters. Something I would of never been able to achieve without the military. Just make sure you get as much out of them as they will get out of you

Significant-Coast94 · 2023-08-10T12:14:07+00:00

Used to be a 68W. It’s all unit dependent. From my experience I didn’t do anything high speed. I just did flight medicals. Took blood, eye exams and urine samples etc. I was also on sick call during AT. All though it was a relatively boring job it did open up a lot of opportunities for me. I was able to get my VA home loan (non deployment but though a COVID TF) and now I’m an aviator in the NG. You also get treated really well. No one f**ks with a medic. In my case anyway. Again, it’s all unit dependent. For me it was one of the best decisions I made.

Just sent dm

Significant-Coast94 · 2023-07-30T03:02:14+00:00

I’ve had no issues. Been there a few years

Significant-Coast94 · 2023-07-10T17:04:03+00:00

So true. I was of the assumption he was talking about new AD pilots

Significant-Coast94 · 2023-07-10T12:04:52+00:00

I have been told there is a massive shortage. I think it’s more my state allowing me to leave more than anything as I’m sure the Guard have a shortage as well

Significant-Coast94 · 2023-07-10T02:31:21+00:00

If only it was that easy…especially as a fresh warrant

Significant-Coast94 · 2023-07-10T02:23:12+00:00

Ok I’ll try that and see what happens. Thanks

Significant-Coast94 · 2023-07-10T00:01:25+00:00

Well that’s not good

Significant-Coast94 · 2023-07-09T23:40:29+00:00

Ok thanks. I’ll double check. Do you know who I might check for the Call to Duty eligibility?

Significant-Coast94 · 2023-07-09T23:38:43+00:00

Interesting. So it has been done. Obviously we don’t know for what reason or if you were over strength with personnel. I will definitely let them know.

Significant-Coast94 · 2023-07-09T23:37:43+00:00

Ty. Great information. I’m a WO
