I would also highly suggest that you do not let your desire to become an airline pilot known to anyone that out ranks you...the entire time that you are in the AF! That should also go for some of your not so close "bros" in the squadron. There are plenty of back-stabbers out there who will be competing for the same dwindling number of "good deal" upgrades and assignments as you and won't bat an eye at ratting you out as a non-team player to the "leadership". SQ and OG commanders won't want to burn those choice upgrades and assignments on guys that they know don't relish the taste of blue Kool-Aid and who are going to jump ship at the first opportunity. Thus, you might find yourself sitting in front of a Predator console at Cannon on your second assignment with very little actual flight time under your belt. Seen it happen several times...
