FYSA, I'm an army Medevac guy so take my comment with a grain of salt. This is just my experience from the army side which generally flies just as much, if not more than Air Force when it comes to helos. When you leave flight school you will have roughly 180 hrs helo. When you go to your unit you can bank on roughly 125 hrs per year. Most units you are a PI instead of PIC for roughly 2-3 years and have ~500 hrs TT. I wouldn't bank on helo for job prospects to be honest. The first job you would qualify for is a flight instructor position, most likely in a Robinson helicopter, which has SFAR 73 requirements and the FAA flight instructor certificate and isn't cheap to get. the next round of jobs you would be looking at is Air tours which generaly require 1000 hrs helo. The last stop is working EMS or a specialty field which is about 2000hrs and 1000 PIC. Not saying it isn't doable, but you are gonna be looking at about 8-10 years before you would qualify to do air tours as a guardsman. A Commercial RW with instrument is pretty worthless without time due to the large insurance constraints. There are always exceptions for how many hours you get over time depending on the unit, but that's about average. Long story short, don't quit your day job with the expectation to fly helos after seasoning.
