Retired mil here, 5 years at F9.
Don’t bother with conversion, these days tt/pic isn’t going to interfere with getting a cjo, imho. Not enough mil here for them to get the conversion, so again I wouldn’t.
Seems like M&G like the recent ones at NGPA@PSP this month and @ORD tomorrow are the fast tracks to interviews. I’ve followed 2 guys who got them that route. Far better than hoping you win the lottery on airline apps.
Good luck
