I do not want to join the military if it will hold me back from one day getting that airline job.

Also, are there a lot of ATC slots in the military? I'm guessing the AF would have the most. That would be something that interests me if I did not fly in the military.
d22 -

It sounds to me like you want to be an airline pilot first and foremost. Therefore - I suggest that you pursue an airline career. If you join the military then I believe that you are going to be very unhappy being an officer in our nation's services because a lot of the job might entail something other than flying.
