I'm currently active duty. I had an APO address and lived OCONUS too. The difference is yeah you will get deployed, but it will only be one year at a time.

Not that I think military service is a bad thing, but you know it's not that easy, right? Not just ANYONE can be a military aviator. The entry requirements are pretty stiff.

Totally agree. Again I know its not easy. Everybody can't be a pilot period. Do you think Eithiad's requirements are going to be less stiff?

This is statement is kind of a broken record around here, but it is still true: DO NOT join the military just to fly.
