I can also train on the civilian side with the Montgomery GI Bill since I am already a PPL/IR.
Congrats on being selected to be a C-17 Loadmaster. I was a C-130 Loadmaster active duty and was able to get a pilot slot. I now fly the C-17. It's a great aircraft and awesome job. You may discover that being a Load is where you want to stay. I would have happily stayed as a Load for 20 years if I didn't get selected for UPT. I assume you got in with the NYANG guys. There are some great guys up there. I know many of them from their active duty days. Do a good job as a load, be a good dude and I'm sure you'll reach your goals. Good luck!
