I would say if you pursue this option, you could probably get hired in a T-6 or T-1 slot, especially at a base such as Laughlin or Vance.

Just a guess on precedent, as I've been retired from the Reserves for a few years, and don't follow current trends.
Thanks for the advice. I can stay flying the t45 almost until retirement so only reason I'd give that up would be to fly actual fighters.
