If it is worth it is up to you. If you fly in the military, you won't get as many hours and you have lots of additional duties, you are an officer first. Also, once you are an experienced captain or major, they will take you out of the cockpit and put you in a "staff job," aka flying a desk. it means you will have an office job for two to three years, before they send you back to the airplane. My recommendation is go for a guard or reserve unit. I have friends who entered with commercial licenses and instructor ratings, and are having a blast at UPT, but you will most likely end up having to live somewhere where you don't want to at least once, and its a 10 year commitment after training. i also have friends who went into the air force hoping to fly, and they even had FAA instructor ratings, but the air force found some small medical reason enough to disqualify them, and they ended up in an office job or in a missile silo. remember that it is a serious commitment and it will require more from you than being a pilot. The reward in the end is serving your country, having the honor of being an officer in your country's armed forces, and getting to do some unique missions that you might not have gotten in the civilian world. Also, it can open doors for you if you want to do similar work for a contractor in the life after military.
