Can't agree more about all of the solid advice given here. I can still remember sitting in my room in Vandy wondering if all this work was really worth it and for me it was and then some. In 12 years, I've flown KC-135's and G-V's and am close to hitting the 5,000 hr mark. I've been there for Northern and Southern Watch, Iraqi and Enduring Freedom, and Odyssey Dawn. Looking back, here's a few things that have stood out:

I haven't met many mil pilots that don't love what they do or their community...you have a lot of great choices ahead of you.

Nobody joins the military to become rich, but the money you'll make is surprisingly good.

I wasn't very good at predicting my path along the way, but whether it be luck or fate, it has always turned out great. So as said before, take it one step at a time.

Best of luck in your future.
