I definitely understand that as an SNA, airlines should be the furthest thing from my mind right now, and the focus is on being the best well rounded pilot I can be.

It's still good I think to keep this long term goal in mind to set yourself up for it if/when the time comes, especially when it comes to the complications with V22 time.

Beg/borrow/steal/kill/whatever you gotta do to get IP orders to VT-31/35 after you do your grunt appreciation tour. Multi PIC/Stan quals/NATOPs are all there for the picking. Do some volunteering while you're there. Get 1000-1200 hours in a 2.5 year tour. Don't knock up the bartenders at the pelican or Farrahs.

T-6s are fun, but multi PIC time is mo betta.
