The problem is, I really don't know much about the military. What would the difference between joining USAF, the Marines, the Navy, the Guard, etc and being a pilot besides the type of planes I would fly? Different chances of being a pilot? Different training? Different hours? At the moment, the guard sounds really good to me because of its part-time schedule that will allow for the pursuit other things.
