My current plan is to get my ATP-CTP while I’m still Active Duty and have use or lose leave. I also have time to study for it etc. Then do fill out all my apps. Then get re-current by the way of a guard/reserve unit and then update my apps as I get more hours. But the other option is go regionals. They just pay a lot less than the guard/reserve does and I have a wife and 3 kids to feed.
