Listen to MEM, If you have the attitude of "this job in the military is a stepping stone", you will likely not succeed in the Air Force, and I would not want you in my squadron. Neither would I want you in my cockpit as First Officer. So, ask yourself who you are and what you want to become. I wanted to be a military officer, I was fortunate enough to be selected to become a pilot, I gave my all to it, was looking for a stable life, was fortunate again, to be hired by a major airline, and continued doing what I loved most as an Air National Guardsman. Log back in fifteen years from now and let us know how it went.
