Military flying is the best there is. Though there is a lot of fun to be had on the civilian side if you're prepared to step a little out of the comfort zone.
Mate of mine from the same APC who stayed in joined me to help fly my Maule from Canada to the UK.
He had previously completed two tours in AFG and one in Iraq.
As we coasted out from Nunavut he came out with the reassuring comment: "this is undoubtedly the most dangerous thing I have ever done".
So, proof, you can have more fun in GA than in the military.
