PSA would probably hire someone with your experience. I know a retired AF F-16 pilot who had the same situation you described. He was hired there so he could regain currency and get 121 time. He planned on a short stay at PSA.
Renting to get IFR currency and ME currency would be helpful if you go the regional route. When I was in the VaARNG, I flew out of the Quantico flying club but hear it's no longer in operation. Does Andrews still have a flying club?
Thanks for the info. Most of the folks from the Quantico flying club moved down to Shannon Airport in Fredericksburg. They operate a flight school called JLS Aviation now. Pax River and Fort Meade both have flying clubs though but not Andrews (probably because of security reasons with Air Force One and DC FRZ)
