Hey y'all long time lurker on the forum. I found some old threads with similar situations, but nothing too recent with the hiring environment. I'd like to get your take on the following:

Currently sitting at about 600TT, all turbine, and 500 of that is ME. The problem is that my next set of orders (which will be my last) is a desk job. The desk job will be about a 4 year gig and then I'm planning on a clean break with the military. I want to be able to set myself up for as much success as possible after I get out, understanding that my first goal will definitely be a regional. The good news is that this desk job is pretty laid back, and I could definitely get a lot of flying in on my own time to (hopefully) make 750 R-ATP mins.

The questions are the following:
- Does it seem reasonable to think that if I were to make it to 750 hours (by either paying to fly or finding a side gig) by the time I would be applying, a regional would offer me a CJO?
- Do y'all have any specific recommendations for ways to build time in my situation, or should I just check out the low-time/part 91 page? I just want to make sure I'm covering all my bases.
- I've had a hard time finding this spelled out plainly: if I make it to 750 total time, would most regionals (if they were to give a CJO) offer to pay for the R-ATP?

My end goal is to use my next 3-4 years as efficiently as possible, so that I can get hired by a regional quickly. That way I can start building hours and experience for a major -- but that's starting to think long term. Right now I'm focusing on the alligator closest to the boat, which is making sure I'm not sitting on my hands for the next 3-4 years.

Any advice or feedback is appreciated in advance. Thanks for all the info on this site -- y'all are great!
