If the military flying position is tight, I'd consider keeping your current job & joining the Guard or Reverves. That way you stay on track with a piloting job while getting your feet wet in the military.

There may be an Officer slot/position available, or even enlist and look to OCS later.

Back to the military flight option. If interested, you need to talk to and apply to ALL who will listen. That means the Coast Guard, Army & everything in between. If & when you were to get a guanteed offer, then the decision is yours.

Back in 81 when I was in Army Basic(National Guard) we had a few college graduates who enlisted to get started.
