Nope it aint that bad,I've been in 20yrs and enjoyed every minute of it.Still enjoying every minute too.
You do have to be realistic though and understand you will be joining a far smaller military and expect to do your fair share of OOA,deployments,extra duties etc etc.It is certainly a lot different from when I joined but I still wouldnt change my life for anything else and I still have another 11yrs left to go.
