Yes, it will be hit or miss...but when you can get out in 10 years, you can maybe decide to stick it out for military retirement if the industry is still in the crapper. 10-year Air Force pilots are making $80,000 a year now...not too bad...

Don't mind Skyhigh...he's our resident pessimist

I love you Skyhigh, don't get me wrong!
