Quite simply, if you're having a reservation about the military, don't do it. You'll be miserable about most things (family separation, putting up with that d!ck IP in the training command, non-flying duties (in the Navy, those are far more important than whether you're the ace of the base wrt getting what you want for follow on tours), the work hours, dealing with Seaman Timmy's drinking problem, Airman Boado's amateur porn tape (I kid you not!) etc. etc.) to the point where you won't enjoy the good (flying) and fantastic (day traps). Yes, you'll average about 350 hours a year, but you'll be working your a$s off during each one of those hours. 8 hours of autopilot is easier than 45 mins of ACM, and that is recognized in the civilian world.

Bottom line (from me) is that you got to want to serve as an officer first, then flying is a cool bonus and time away from the boss. If you go in thinking "I'm gonna learn to fly then go to the airlines" life is going to suck. When the time comes (commitment's up) everyone looks at their situation and decides what is best.
