PERS got wise of this and unfortunately isn't an option for anyone except for the lucky few who got orders cut less than 12 months out from MSR.

Dallas now makes you serve the full 24 month orders instead of being able to get out at your MSR. (Most people enjoy the job so not a big deal) Question for anyone here that I have is:

Having seen some P-3/P-8 FRS guys get hired at DAL and American with right around 1700 HRS FAA style, would you rather do your 10 months on a boat, get out at MSR, and hope you get hired by a major with lighter numbers and then fall back on a regional if you don't... Or take 2 year flying orders (Dallas, U, PEP), give up a potential year or seniority, but leave the Navy current with higher hours?
