Default Considering Enlisting -- Probably the usual questions.

I'm currently working on 4 year degree and flight training, and as of now will probably start flight instructing in a year to build hours.

The military route or experience has crossed my mind several times and I am willing to seriously consider it. I really don't know anything about choosing to go this way. And I'm stubborn and really don't feel like committing unless I'm confident I will get a fixed-wing flying job.

I've heard in the ANG you can know what you will fly before training, is this accurate? Would I need to enlist and commit to 6 years before having any options? If I enlist now what am I going to be doing for the ANG while I'm in school? Can someone explain what I will need to do chronologically to get to flying for them?

I'm definitely open to other military options as well, I just have the impression there is less of a guarantee for flying jobs in other divisions.

After I was done serving what kind of hours would I have? (I guess specifically PIC turbine)

Any help is much appreciated, this is just what's on the top of my mind.
