If you can find a way to go Guard or Reserves early, I would jump on it in a heartbeat. I'm just now leaving the AD after almost 11 years. My experience the last 3-4 years has been vastly different from my first 8. You'll still get to travel as a Guard or Reserve pilot & see the world depending on your airframe. You might even have some of the queep to put up with depending on the unit, but being able to stay in the same place, moving on your terms, raising a family where you want, etc is invaluable compared to the AD. Good luck!
