I've have been inquiring with a recruiter of the Air National Guard about joining as a Flight Nurse. I have an interview set up in a couple weeks. During my phone call the recruiter noted that for the Flight Nurse position military requirements are not your standard one weekend a month and two weeks a year, that there are more training obligations each month to ensure you keep your "flight hours". I want to know if anyone here is a Flight Nurse with the Air National Guard and how you manage your military requirements in addition to your civilian job? Do you maintain a full-time status at your civilian job or have you had to drop down to a part time/flex time status? I have not had much luck finding many details specific to the air national guard, more information focused on the reserves side, but I am not sure how comparable that is to the requirements of the ANG. I am just wondering realistically how one manages a full time civilian job while also ensuring they complete all the military requirements in addition to extra hours that have to be put in to get your flying time. I am worried if I will be able to maintain both. If anyone has any insight, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you so much
