Not as a full career. With the amount of "stuff" being done by all 3 services you have pretty much "seen it, done it" very early on. Assuming short term engagements will still be around I still think the military has much to offer up until you want to get some stability, see the wife and kids etc. Stability and military life are genrally not compatible (although I grant you some people have been very lucky). That is then the time to launch a second career be it airlines or something totally different. Personally I'm coming up to an option and will be taking it - I've done "my operational bit" (and more) over the last 20+ years and sadly any future "bits" will always be in a CAOC / HQ or something similar.
