Depends on the setting tone and exactly how the two of you met really.

Presuming that Veteran Koujirou meets Anna as per 'anime convention' i.e not influenced by player votes. He'll basically ask for personal mentoring, like a quieter version of what he is now, basically ask to train together. Yukari would probably have recommended him to find you as a sort of acquaintance. You'd probably agree to run sims, other exercises or simply chat since you'd be bumming around after completing Academic only course in a few weeks, whereupon you'd have nothing to do except cool your heels and hang with the Instructors.

Basically, you'd be that 'rooftop girl', you know the type, who Koujirou visits whenever he's avoiding his more energetic harem members and has a quieter time sorta hanging and chatting with.
Isn't Anna already the "rooftop girl"? She's basically the one girl Kojirou can go to (perhaps aside from Yukari?) and hang out with without worrying about any drama, stress, expectations/pressure, or violence. Sandra comes somewhat close, but she's a socialite and high-standing--he'd feel pressured to talk to her, be polite and charming, or to live up to the expectations he imagines she has of him.

Kind of like how the Instructors are for Anna: whenever she wants to just hang around people she can be totally at ease with, with no risk of drama, stress, expectations, or responsibilities, she can just go to the Instructors' Lounge.

He's too upbeat and energetic. There is no time when he wants to go have a bit of quiet, either he's training, eating, socializing, or laid out with core-related headaches.

A veteran Koji would have a lot more free time because he wouldn't be constantly "ow pain."
 
3rd years see deployment regularly.
I'm not entirely sure that "regularly" is the right term, here. I imagine they get deployed when there's a major need, but otherwise they only "sometimes" get a fairly short-duration mission.

"Deployment" in the contexts of troops and reserve forces carries connotations of long-duration stays/missions. Third-year cadets are more like a reserve (and not even the first tier of reserve; they're in the process of completing their training and education, the most lacking in experience, and often the least skilled relative to their older counterparts). Taking them out of classes/training to do short-duration missions/assignments on occasion is fine; taking them out of classes/training for actual deployment is something you only do if you need to (which, granted, they probably needed to at many points in the Great Battle, but not afterwards).

Well,

Valkyries have no operational reserve at anything lower than + 3.

All 20,000 are at full deployment almost all through the year excluding leave. The Instructors and the students of the various academies are pretty much the only meaningful units of combat Valks that can be called to a situation without drawing down Valkyrie presence elsewhere.

It's not 24/7 battle of course, (Anna: What do you mean, 'of course'?) sometimes combat duty is simply, "Patrol/linger around over this arcology/coastline/orbital path, make sure no sneakin AGs infiltrate." but never the less, every single serving Valkyrie essentially is at constant combat readiness, every single one. They never draw down. So you move some third year students over onto guard duty for the Madagascar North Coastline to shut down everything so that the Enlisted Valks previously patrolling there can go to the front where stuff is going down.

Depends on how you define regularly. "With some regularity" would almost certainly apply to this situation. Every few weeks is probably not the case, though.
 
3rd Years probably do a lot of the patrols and aerial superiority missions near their Arcology, mostly just being present as an obvious deterrent to Antagonist attack forces without burdening experienced Valkyries on a rotating schedule between Squadrons and Flights. The actual defending mostly happens at the actual front, where full serving members intercept and destroy incoming Antagonist raiding forces.
 
F this. I regret reading this quest. I now join the ranks of those anxiously waiting for the next update. May the QM have mercy on my soul......s.
