I don't think or feel that I would have to pull it off. I know with certainty I'm not good at pretending so "faking it 'till you make it" is out of the question for me. And as for the USAF colonels, I might have signed off the preflight on the aircraft they flew over Iraq. Maybe they'll put it in a good word about me... if they remember. Lol.

Not suggesting you fake it. Just for your own planning, you need to be aware that the higher up the food chain you try to go, the more important the presentation becomes. You just need to present like a professional, not like a HS drop-out right off a job site.
They'll care about the presentation much, much more than what (legal) work you did along the way to school and flight training.
