aviatorusmc,

To up your FW time you might look at going to a local airport that does skydiving and get checked out to fly one of those planes. You can bang out about 8 hours a day on the weekend! Before I got out, guys at station were doing exactly that because they were battle frog pilots, CH46, and needed more fixed time.

You might also look into fractional ownership companies too. That is a great way to transition from the Suck to civy flying. I know it worked well for me.

Not sure where you are stationed, but look around to see what is available to you. Also, go take your military equivilancy (sp?) exam to get your commercial rating if you haven't already done that. The gouge is out there and will help you in getting one of these gigs.

Best of luck,

Semper Fi!
