I haven't had so much stress as I've had in this past 10 months. How are you guys coping? Sorry if I'm ranting but I'm on the verge of having a breakdown only once a few days now.
Have you considered the military aviation? First year pay is around 50K, and only gets better. I would consider the Air National Guard or Reserves before even thinking Active Duty. Don't mention the breakdown in you medical. Goodluck.
Also, USAA offers a 25k loan at 1.99% when you first become an officer...decent way to get loans on a low interest rate.
