Hi!
Options:
USA Jet loves mil guys. If you mostly have rotor time u start as a Falcon 20 FO $34K base and 11 hard days off. If u have mostly FW time U may get to start as a -9 FO $39K base and 13 hard days off.
Overseas carriers:
If you have 500 on the -320, there's a million contracts available, including DEC (Direct Entry Captain-called "Street Captain" in the US). You'll make $100K plus with housing, transportation, schooling for your kids, etc. Even if you just have the -320 type, there are some contract jobs paying decent money.
Other jobs:
U may be able to find some other jobs with that time. Flight Options???
Regional Street Captain:
Go to Colgan, Big Sky, Great Lakes, Pinnacle, TSA or somewhere else that has low capt upgrade mins, because you won't be an FO long at those places.
Good luck!

PS-Join aptap.org if you haven't already. It's Army Pilot To Airline Pilot. It was originally designed for Army helo guys, but there's lots of mil guys there including FW guys. Great networking and advice. I got a job and an interview there and can get help for more if I want.
