I've concidered going active duty in the Air Force, but some things came up where it was going to take me a while to go in, and I had doubts about going. I've never heard of the Air National Guard unitl a few weeks ago, so I looked into it. I live in Northern Illinois, and there a 2 units up in WI that I could join, but neither of those offer schooling in IL, so I went down to Peoria, 182nd Fighter Wing, and checked it out. It seems like a really really good deal, but I know how recruiters are and they are full of BS. He told me that as of June of this year, 2005, the ANG will start to pay for all flight training if it is a a public school. Sounds not right to me since it is extremely expensive. I'm just trying to see if it is actually everything the recruiter says it is and was hoping to get some feedback from some of you who have been or are in the guard.
