I did exactly that. You aren't going to get FLL/LGB for at least 2 years anyway (if that's your reason for wanting the bus). The people in My class who bid the 320 did not get lines for a 1 1/2. Pay wise I made considerably more than them. If you live in base you can start making some okay money your second year. As a commuting line holder I made a little more then 80k my second year if I lived in base I could have added 10k to that. End of 2nd year I bid the bus ASAP.
