First off, Thank you for your service Hawk.

Rick has it right. Choose one and stick with it. I would also recommend FW. RW can be added later when you have that dream job. Stay focused on the prize.

I would only add get your CFII MEI as quickly as possible. Live at the FOB. This will ultimately save you cash, and time, in the long run. Try to get on at a flight school at a college 141 program. Honestly I would look south to FL or maybe out west. You want to be where the flying is more consistent with regards to WX (read less cancelations, build time quickly. Make sure the FBO 141 program has a thriving ME program and get yourself ME students. When you hit 1000 hrs, start pumping out resumes. And always network. Your students and co workers today might be your recommendation tomorrow. Don't be afraid to hit up job fairs. The trick here is to reach Min quals and start applying for that next level as quickly as possible. Getting in to your dream job as young as you can is key here for longevity and seniority.

Good luck!! Sounds like you have a great plan just hone it in a little and stay focused. Don't be deterred and have fun
