I was skeptical myself, but having heard it from more than a couple of sources I gave it some credence.
Where would i stand with 1400 hours including 600 on Bell 212? Just in case I get the next job

Yeah,
Better to stay in the military and continue flying whilst doing the advanced education on the side that to get out and study whilst trying to fly on the side to pay the bills (not likely). If flying is what you want to do as a career thats the way to go (get enough mil hours to be competetive in the civ marketplace)...if you're really dead keen on something else, do it and keep the aviation as a hobby...ultimately, you're choice...if it were me (actually, it sounds EXACTLY like me) I'd stick with the security of the full time military flying and do the other things you want to on the side, including all your exams, licenses, that astrophysics degree you've always wanted, etc, etc, bla, bla, bla.
Good luck my man...you'll make the right choice for you
