What Keg says!
Having just started in RPT after starting in GA and then to military the one thing that strikes me is that no matter how pilots get to where they are they had a fun time getting there. There might have been the odd bad posting (in the raaf) or mob they worked for that ripped them off of went broke (in GA/RPT), but no one would change much of their journey.
I've got funny/sad stories from all aspects of my trip so far.
As long as you are keen for the military and can be a follower and a leader when required then go for it. Having said that if bloody Qantas had given me a cadetship in 91 then maybe I would have different advice!
