I could give him the name of a great Army recruiter for helo ops.

I have turned a lot of people on to rotary training as a fixed wing CFI. If nothing else, they at least took a ride to see what it was like. When I get asked about how hard it is to fly rotary I always say "Any idiot, including helo pilots, can fly in a straight line. It takes serious skill mastery to hold 50,000 lbs over one spot, +/- 2 feet in a 30 knot wind in brown-out, NVG conditions, under fire." This one 17 year old kid's eyes got as big around as the aircraft tires. His dad, who was in the back was an old Huey pilot in Nam. Since I had two hours till my next flight, i bought them both lunch while his kid listened to us trade stories. His were much better than mine.

The point, to the OP: At this point, this early in your "career" such as it is, take whatever training you can get and run with it. Do your best and forget the rest. The people you will meet, train with, and ultimately go to war with will be some of the greatest, most driven, and professional people you will have the opportunity to meet. Lots of people miss the military camaraderie. Hell, I think it it could liven up the normal "Office Space" job if people really cared about each other.

Honestly, though, good for you for looking into the military. It has been a great ride so far and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
