It can be great, or embrace the suck. What kind of flying do you want? Choose the mission... beware, while it can be great the Army is the best at sucking the fun out of anything. That said, 60 degree banks and 145 knots at 30 feet can be a good time - when you actually get to do it.

First and foremost, thank you all for your opinion as it’s worth a lot as I have very little knowledge about how military aviation works.
I’m at one of those regionals where I have a guaranteed flow to american in 8 or so years. Im 22 and aren’t even old enough to apply to any majors yet. My long term goal is airlines but I want to try out the whole military thing before flying for American +40 years.

Although if you're going guard/reserves, you'd probably be back from initial training/seasoning before you were flow eligible anyway.
