Question for those who are currently in or finished with IOE, but first some background info. Due to low total time (410) and the benefit of a 12-month deployment's worth of cash in the bank, I'm going to self-fund a good deal of FW training before applying for R2W. I'll accomplish this on nights and weekends during my remaining time in service. Keeping in mind that lots of people on these forums say seniority is everything, should I apply the second I become eligible? Or should I take a bit of time to study and make sure I really have "jet stuff" down solid before applying?
