I think I had about 250+ 50nm X-C time, so all those days I went to another airport for touch-n-goes added to the madness.

if 'random flying' is what you want to call it :P
what about just getting on with a regional @ 600-800 hours and then just building time there? getting that turbine time and no one said anything about PIC time, so that wouldn't matter (unless you upgraded that quick). THEN getting on with some freight co's?

The nice thing is you can still fly for a commuter and fly for the military at the same time. I flew with several guys a my commuter job that were doing that. There are many different paths to take and they all have their pros and cons. Pick which one you like the most and go for it. Good luck!
