Of course, many of those guys got furloughed for years, but you get the idea.

I believe you still fall in the Military category. I think your category is really based on how/where you started your training. I would think that a guy who separated from the service in 07, got stuck in a regional for 7 years due to timing, economy, recency, etc... Would still be considered Military at Delta since that is where your early career training occurred.
