If you see yourself as an airline pilot at some point, I can't emphasize enough that military pilot background is a huge advantage in the highly competitive airline pilot market later on. Even if its helos, as long as it is a manned aircraft. Just be aware of that. It is definitely worth the perhaps unlikely payoff of success in obtaining military training to put up with a lot of challenges up front. I have a pal who was a second leuitenant scheduled for air force flight training good to go when he found out he had a slight color failure in one eye that would hardly affect anything in a thousand years. He was heart broken of course, but he would still say it was worth the attempt. I can put you in touch with him if you like.
