Well its cool init. Get to wear a flash uniform, drive fast cars, pull the birds, get loads of dosh. Spend weeks in exotic locations in 5 star hotels lying by the pool surround by totty. Then you leave the military and join the airlines and they work you until drop on crap schedules usually all nights not days and then their pension fund crashes.
That's why I am here now
P.S. Still flying though. But when I want to and in the glorious Okavango Delta.
