All good points. If you're saying an ANG fighter job might allow someone a competitive resume sooner or with lower total time than your average vanilla product of the civilian track, I think I can agree with that.
Aside from my issues with going part time as a low time fighter wingman, my only point of contention was the implication that the ANG fighter path is realistically a faster option.
