I don't see anything wrong with wanting to go to the airlines after your time in the military. Everyone is in the same boat for the next 8-20 years, whether you think you are a lifer or not. Only the losers (usually hamfist pilots who can't make it on the outside stick around for 20 on active duty-not always but way more often than not). I always laugh at the hypocrites who act like they bleed red, white and blue and yet they are the first ones to stab you in the back with a smile when you are not looking.
Best advise it to just enjoy your time in the military and don't burn any bridges. Set yourself up so that if/when that time comes, you will have the ability to make the best choice at that time. Best of luck!
