Since no one else has said, hello, I will ... Hello! Welcome to the board.

I went the military route, but I can tell you that you will become a much better pilot once you have been instructing for a while. I think you are making a wise choice, and when you make the move to a regional job you will be much better prepared.

Good luck!

Yes welcome aboard from another new join. You and I started out quite similiar. I got all of my ratings out of college and an Aviation degree - but unlike you I didn't hang around to get my CFI/CFII/MEI. I understand more now, but at the time I just didn't feel like I knew enough to be instructing. Since my time in the military though I've seen all services use freshly winged aviators retained as IPs. If I had to do it all over again I guess I would rethink my opinions. I ended up flying checks stubs and jumpers a little while looking for that elusive bush flying job >G< In the end - it has been a great road and I'm envious that it is just starting for you. ENJOY!
