I did end up going to flight school, but not in the military. Have Commercial/Multi/Flight Instructor ratings... but money (or the need for it) drove me to other work besides flight instructing in this climate. Flight instructors dont get paid when it is too rainy to fly. Kind of just an expensive hobby now... and I havent even done that much lately. Maybe someday I will teach again... would be fun if I didn't have to live on the income.
