I had to chuckle as I said " all our landings are full stops". As a former fighter guy I have to admit I benefited greatly from riding side saddle my first year, the regional guys have the airline flow down when they come here.
One of the best things a mil guy can do is partner up with a civ guy in training. The fact that your partner has been through 121 school already and can help explain airline philosophy and "whys" will help tremendously. Every new hire knows how to fly, not every new hire has the experience gained from operating in the 121 world.
