Your biggest hurdles will be....

1- What to do after your second flying tour. It probably will be non-flying and you will want to get out and go to the reserves. Whether it is a TACAIR, VT, or VR squadron, competition is stiff and being noncurrent makes it even harder.

2- Not letting the discussion here (or your current mindset on the airlines) get to your squadron. If the wrong CO (most of them) gets the idea you are just padding your logbook for your next life, getting the next set of desirable orders will be increasingly difficult. You need to play this very close to the vest. Everyone knows it’s a fallback if the Navy doesn’t work out. Don’t say it’s your primary goal.
