I'd say go for it if you meet the basic requirements. Under 30, bachelors degree, in good shape, etc etc. And don't forget about the Army National Guard and the Air Force Reserve. I think the Air Force Reserve has at least as many C-130 and other heavy units as the ANG, and the Army has some fixed wing stuff too. I bet that if you meet the basic requirements, can do well on standardized tests, interview well, and don't care where you live, you'll be able to find a unit that will pick you up.
