Thanks all.
I am not at all trying to hold my military service over them... it is just that I have heard of some pretty sour attitudes in the organization because it has "rank" structure, etc. Frankly I would have never cared if not for the horror stories I have heard!
I sent an email to the local unit. They have one airplane and I don't think they even do their own maintenance "in-house." I might go check out a meeting and meet a few people, although some other locals who have been involved have tried to steer me away due to the attitudes they experienced within.
Are there any other good volunteer groups in which you can use your aviation skills? I am aware of Angel Flight, Pilots for Paws, etc, but most of these organizations require you to own an aircraft, which I do not (yet!).
