Do NOT attempt a flying career in the military as a "fallback" to your regional, especially on the ANG level. Recruiters that work with Pilot candidates can see straight through the BS...plus you'll have to be in good to great physical shape and be qualified well beyond simple flight hours on your resume. The process is long and arduous even if you are a competitive candidate...most boards only meet once or twice a year and it'll take you at least 3 months to get all the paperwork and tests completed.

Every day I damn my thick corneas for causing my ocular pressure to read high and causing me to lose my ANG pilot slot three weeks before AMS...
