Number #1 thing I tell all new guys/gals at our base is keep a logbook, preferably electronic, and track as many things as possible. Even if you don't think you ever want to fly for the airlines. Your flight experience is probably THE most valuable asset you have. I'm shocked at how little care some military pilots take care of this and then freak out when they finally get an interview somewhere and can't easily break out their flight time.

My 2 cents-
