Default Thanks

Thanks to everyone who has replied. While it does seem to depend, the overall consensus seems to be that most employers will give "extra credit" for military time.

Now lets go down this road, would any of you specify part of your flight time as combat time? I realize that this is a stretch for any non-rotorheads who flew OIF/OEF missions post '04 but you can honestly say that you flew x number of hours while "exposed" to enemy surface to air fire. As well, would you try to highlight any ordnance that you dropped during those hours, including drops that were "danger close"?

Part of me says go ahead and put it down on the resume or application, maybe that will be the deciding factor to get a call for an interview. The other part says talk about it in the interview if it comes up.

How about sim time? Do they even care?

USMCFLYER, I'm only sitting on 1000TT, 600 multi and should see an additional 400-500 multi plus ATP in this next year. Hence the reason for the original question because that does not make me very competitive on an hour for hour basis. Ideally I'd like to get on with a nice strong company ( Dupont, McDonald's, State Farm, etc...) Dream job, fly for the NASCAR corporation or Hendricks Motorsports but I'm not ruling out the airlines. For which squadron were you a rag instructor?
