He said C17 PIC is more valuable than CRJ FO time, I think that's a safe call.

Yeah another type is a very significant scoring credit, especially if you check the 121 box. Definitely do regional when eligible, even if you mil-drop a lot to fly guard.

If you get hired by a regional, check the 121 block and another type rating there is nothing preventing you from then spending most of your time flying Guard side and dropping regional trips. As long as you have orders the regional has to let you do so.
But that's what... 3-5 years down the road? Post again when you cross that bridge. The landscape, both military and civilian, will probably be different.
This too.
