Plenty of people there that have traveled the road you are starting.
Lots to search and read.

My first advice is to never give up your guard job. Never.
Ask around your AASF to see anyone else there can help.
Have you thought of calling OSAA to see if they need someone for a deployment? I have seen guys (myself included) get the FWMEQC for a trip overseas as an augmentee and later go back to their RW platform. Free Multi (possible SE) commerical Inst. with multi-turbine experience. You'll probably not make PC on your first trip, but it is a great way to make friends with the KingAir.
Also, get the -60 IP course and then get your Mil Comp CFII R-H followed by a CFII/MEI fixed wing at a local school that you can turn around and teach for after.
