Going in cold, you could very easily step on a land mine.

Also need to consider the composition interview team, may be non-mil pilots and the HR ladies likely have a very different outlook on life than a military professional. Too many unpolished military edges and they might think you're a baby-killer type.

Good news...they're gonna need you within a couple years regardless. I thing the only think that would be a permanent blackball would be lying or significant background issues.
