Thought for a second that AspiringPilot had some good news for us with that promising email he received, then I realized that Tuesday is April 1st, April Fools Day!

Also, we got the same email, but it just reiterated the fact that %10 of FT will be drug tested.

Regarding the article.....Just what the USAF needs...part time pilots flying expensive planes..... No disrespect to reserves but will this result in safety issues when it's time to call on the USAF???
This is not only disrespectful to the reserve component buy also displays your ignorance. The reality of our future will be a smaller active duty force and larger reserve component. The value has been proven. The reserve component can accomplish many of the air force missions at a reduced cost to the taxpayer.
The Air National Guard was recently awarded the Major General Benjamin D. Foulois Memorial Award for the most exemplary flight safety record of all Air Force major commands during fiscal 2012.
The Order of Daedalians presents the Foulois Award annually to the Air Force major command that achieved the best flying safety record as determined by the Air Force chief of staff.
The ANG, which includes 93 wings, flew 1,213 aircraft more than 348,000 flight hours. This accounted for 30 percent of the combat Air Force's mission. There were 12 unique missions with high mishap potential and not a single fighter Class-A mishap in 139,000 flight hours was recorded.

Accept my apology. I read your comment as "this will" and not "will this".
Do you know why you have to be > 6 feet tall to be in the coast guard?
If your ship sinks you can walk home.
Please, enough with the songs and jingles.
