My comments were in regards to active duty. The guard/reserve is the only way to go... having the ability to say "no" is priceless.
That said, even the guard/reserve isn't what it used to be. Shrinking budgets make it tougher to turn it into a quasi full-time gig, and a small part of the active duty stupidity is starting to trickle down.
If you're interested, go read the forums over on baseops.net. It'll help explain why so many people want out of AD ASAP.
