What I was wondering about was whether you might need to sort out your house/dog sitch before you gun for a civilian A/F job. Do that. I think you would thrive in Squarebanks... but would miss your family and your house. Maybe you have focused on Anchorage but I think Fairbanks is better. Their program is beautiful. You would be an excellent fish swimming with other smart and brawny fish. Consider upping your ante.
I think your relationship with your house is what you need to reconsider...
You are a tad comfortable. Keep the haus for an investment... but jump far. You have such good vitality. Keep imagining yourself guest lecturing with a doctorate in front of that lazy sea lion, in Seward. He is precious.
You too. I meant, you are precious too. Keep working hard and try Nyquil. It is the only legal high worth having.
