Good plans. Boards are highly competitive, so be prepared. I wouldn’t get any more ratings unless you’re wealthy, you already have enough to prove you can fly a little. Be prepared for how long this takes, from application to being a mission ready copilot takes a couple years. And remember this is still the military, not a flying club. It’s better than active duty or the regionals, but they can still send your butt to Djibouti or wherever whenever. Good luck.
