Currently serving in the RAF and work very closely with the USAF.
Every job has its pro's and cons, but not every job offers the life changing opertunities that the military does.
You guys are lucky, in the US you are treated like heros, unlike here in the UK where the public turn the other cheek.
Take the opertunity, you wont regret it. Even if you only do a short time you'll exit the service having seen the world and developed yourself as a person exponentially over your college peers.
Go for it!
