Military would be great too, yet from what i also hear, there is not too much flying going on these days.
The military can offer you great training, and flying experience that is simply unavailable to civilians ... but don't consider it if all you want to do is fly. It is a fact of life that all CF officers (army, navy and air force alike) spend the majority of their working hours on staff and administrative functions, even during operational postings.

Additionally, if the bush is your ultimate career ambition, I think it would be fair to say that military flying (which is highly structured and supported) would be rather poor training for the largely independent life of the bush pilot. Just my two cents.
