Not sure if it's feasible in a fighter unit, but can you eek out a living troughing? Not a bad way to live for a while as long as there is work for you. You have to be realistic about it though...it WILL require some belt tightening vs. Active Duty. On the plus side, you have near total control of your schedule and don't have to feel the least bit bad if United calls you with a class date tomorrow.
