After reading forums on here for about two weeks, I have noticed a trend. I could be wrong, but most of the military and ex-military guys( and women) on here seem to be happier than those who went straight into the airlines or some other civilian route. They give advice, sometimes not always a bright picture, but they always seem very motivated and positive. While I am sure that the military route is extremely challenging, I am beginning to be more attracted to it because of the input from the military pilots on this forum. What do people think? Obviously some will say that both civilian and military can be good, but really what are some thoughts on this subject?
