What Slice said.
But a military flying background will give you a tremendous advantage in the airline business. As a civilian you will earn starvation wages for several years, followed by poverty wages for ten years or so. In the military your pay would be comparable to that of a higher-end degreed professional in the businsess world. Unless you are physically disqualified from the military for some reason, you might want to reconsider.
