Hoping for a little advice from bros who have gone before...
Stats:
- Current/Qualified USAF fighter IP
- Q1s all past checkrides, no training issues, no civilian checkride failures
- End of initial UPT ADSC (currently 11.5 yrs AD time)
- 2 months from receipt of next assignment (aka I'm on the VML, have submitted my assignment prefs, and will get an assignment in or around March 2016)
- 2500TT, 2200 TPIC (~1100 ME TPIC, ~1100 SE TPIC...former T6 IP)
- 4yr undergrad (non-USAFA) in Mechanical Engineering
- 7yr Masters' in Applied Mathematics (from a reputable school)
- Safety school, squadron chief of safety
- NOT an Evaluator or WIC grad
- 1 internal rec at Delta/United/SW, 0 at all others
- Apps submitted ~1 week ago

Question: Which of the following options makes the most sense for an individual who wants to get hired by a Legacy:

a) Take one more 3-yr assignment to pad my hours/quals (i.e. try to pick up a SEFE qual and go over 3000TT)
b) 7-day opt and leave ASAP for the regionals, while keeping my apps in and updating regularly
c) Declare my intent to separate, but ride out my full 6-months of post-7-day-option time...hoping to get the call
d) Go guard/reserve while keeping the apps on file

Follow-up: Anything else I can do to enhance my resume? (Currently on a flying deployment).

Thanks for reading,
