Regardless, I still have a year or two to figure out which path would be best for myself (and also for my family). I've begun to start talking more seriously about it with my wife, and she could not be more supportive.

Once again though thanks guys. I really appreciate it. I don't have many people in the office who know the military ins/outs well, and every time I talk to a recruiter, it never goes very well either.
Flight crews or pilots/navs?
Can't speak to the Army WOs, but the others services require you to have a degree so all would be college graduates - not 18-20.
There are age limits (checks on the specifics of the program you are interested in), but I had a 29 y/o in my OCS class.
