After reading this thread and threads like it, it sounds like the Regional's are a perfect place for military guys with 1500-2000TPIC, but low on the total time. The TPIC we already have allows us to choose a Regional based on location and not on upgrade times so that we can try to live in Domicile and live at our Guard/Reserve base and spend 2 years or so building up that Total Time until a Major calls.
