Pretty sure Air Force is a 10 year commitment after a year of pilot training, after getting your degree. Best case is degree at 22, pilot training by 23, GTFO at 33. You could do better if you go straight into the guard and become a part timer after about 3 years. So maybe 26 that way, if you can get the PIC time. And then you’re working two jobs...
Plus there’s the whole war thing...
I definitely wouldn’t do it to become an airline pilot.
