How far north of 21 are you guys?

More likely, as a typical college senior with a hangover, he chose the
111th because a) it flew "fighters" and b) it was in Houston. What
more does a 21-year-old have to know?

I wasn't aware that anyone's "dream sheet" was ever a sure
thing ? Didn't he take what he was told to, i.e. the Deuce ? It sounds
like the luck of the draw to me...


Seems to me that if I wanted to sign up for any state's ANG, all I'd have to do
to figure out what I'd be trained into would be to take a look at what they were
using, unless they were in the process of phasing in some new equipment that
hadn't shown up yet. Luck of the draw? In USAF, sure.....but in ANG units, a
good bet would be that it'd be in what the state was already using. If it
wasn't a sure thing, it had to be the next best thing to it.
