I am currently finsihing out my enlistment in the USAF (about 18 months). I am an airfield management by trade however dreams have been in teh **** pit since i was knee high to a grass hopper. I have been batting ideas around as to what to do after my enlistment. My heart is not in my job and after 2 tours to the middle east and more on the horizon for my job im looking for an exit strategy. I have considered applying for AF OTS and trying to fly for them however its a highly competitive program and flying spots are not guarnteed. If i would get picked up its a minumum 10yr commitment and im not ready to put my family threw 10 more years of deployments and TDY's. Currently the average cargo pilot in the AF is gone 180-220 days A YEAR.

Any advice on where to start. I will have my bachelors degree before my enlistment is up and should have private and instrument ratings and working on commercial. I want to stay as close to the aviation world as i can. Prefer flying but will take something to put food on the table for the family until the market gets better.
