You're also making it an either/or situation, and it doesn't have to be. As others have said, you can go guard/reserve as a part timer, and keep your current job. Alternatively, if you left your job for military service, would you be able to return to it after a 4 year military stint?
If you did join, and flying wasn't an option, what do you want to do?
Intelligence or Military Police were my other two options; but come to find out you couldn't get those out of training without prior service/experience - so I'm glad I didn't have to chose another option!
I was going to spend a minimum of 4 years doing something though.
It is a good idea to have an idea of a variety of jobs that might interest you if you decide to pursue the military option whether flying or not.
Good luck jamesf.
