Early years aren't so bad on the Active Duty military side--but you do lose control of what you do and where you live so there are other dues to be paid to slip the surly bonds.

I moved 9 times in the first 3 years of my service.
Afterwards - I never stayed longer than 4 years in any one place and that was my last tour from which I retired - thus they couldn't move me after my 3 year tour was up!

I'm planning on applying to Eagle. I want some 121 jet time, PIC type, 5k bonus and some flight bennies. My wife just got a promotion, so I can afford the pay cut. I want to live in the DFW area, so Eagle seems like the only logical choice, as I will probably be on reserve over a year anywhere.

Thanks again for all the information!! Applied to Republic and talked to the recruiter and he said I could get an interview with 1400, just hit 1402. So waiting to hear something this week.

Best advice from this thread:
Never turn down a chance to interview, the skills are only learned doing it under pressure. Well qualified, stand up individuals are turned down from jobs all the time because they don't know how to present themselves.
Take any information offered, but don't let others decide your career. You could be miserable at the "best" regional or happy as can be at the "worst" one.
The pettiness about what airframe you are on never seems to go away, pay, domicile, and line quality are what matters.
and most importantly... don't be "that guy"
good luck mate
