start applying to every guard unit out there. You get to go to UPT with the Air Force and while you are serving as a tarditional guardsman you can get on w/ a regional build the required PIC to be competitive for a major. Oh, by the time your pilot training commitment is up you'll have 20 years combined ( officer & enlisted) and can seperate if you want too. I took a very similar route. I had 9.5 years enlisted before going to flight school. Just got picked up by DAL and I am eligible for retirement in 9 months but I plan on staying around a little longer
