My set up: 14 months left on active duty and a reserve job almost guaranteed the day after I get out.
Most of what I said above applies, but with 14 months left, I guarantee it will be a whole different landscape when you separate -- and that's about the only thing I can guarantee in civil aviation!
Your reserve job is going to be a huge safety net. If things get really bad, you can take military leave from your airline employer. I think you are probably looking good and sounds like you are making some good plans.
