As well, I would like to think that the training we receive is better quality than what a lot of non-military pilots received. Can anyone confirm this gouge that is getting passed around? I'm thinking about getting out in another year but it seems that most decent jobs out there require huge hours so I'm curious how competitive I might be. Thanks.
