I'm going to jump on the bandwagon of what a lot of military guys here said. Sounds like you're mind is made up anyway.

I hate hearing of folks who want to use the military as a stepping stone to an airline career. You are a military officer FIRST, and a pilot second. You have to be committed to a lot more than just flying airplanes or your performance will suffer. And that's not being loyal to the country you swear to serve or the men and women who serve under you.

If life as a pilot is what you want, by all means do whatever you can to achieve it. If being a military officer/enlisted servicemember is not at the forefront of your aspirations, leave the military out of it.
