Must be all that water in Tempe!
A few family members are former Naval aviators....I've been brainwashed to think that Navy is superior! (because it is
) And come to think of it, my water does taste kind of funny. Next I expect you to tell me that Final Countdown didnt really happen!

Realize that joining the military is much more than just the job.
I didn't want to go into it too much in my original post, but what you say there in the quoted section is the exact reason why I am still at the "I am considering the military" phase of my life. I've got at least a year to make that decision for myself. But thanks for the reply, none the less.
One of the things that Im trying to sort out right now is whether or not if the fact that I can't sit here and say to you that I definitely want to join and do it all means that I shouldn't do it. I know personally some people who have taken enlisted jobs in the military ONLY because they couldn't think of anything else to do with themselves. I'm not that guy. If I *do* decide that mil flying and all that comes with it is really what I want, I'll go full force with it.
I just can't decide if not being 100% sure about the choice right now is a sign that I just shouldn't do it at all. Does that make sense? And this whole ANG vs. AD thing is making it tougher.
