In order:
Extend at 30 until within 12 months of your MSR and resign if possible.
If not, Dallas or the U would be ideal.
If not, any flying orders.
If not, a CVN in RCOH where you can show up with your resignation in hand and go on terminal leave 9 months later.
If not, a CVN with that is in the yards/ just came back from deployment... once again resignation orders in hand.
Hours wise, you’re in the ballpark. I have a buddy who a couple years ago left off his shore tour from VP-30 with 1700hrs (2000 with the conversion ans just over 1000hrs PIC/IP time) got an interview at Delta and ended up at FedEx.
You’re in the ballpark hours wise. If you’ve got to go to the boat and don’t want to move after look at a Norfolk CVN so you can go to PSA asap on terminal leave if a major doesn’t call by then.
