Howdy all,
I'm new here so please excuse any newbie mistakes I may make in this first post, after that I realize I'm fair game..
I'm a college senior on track to go to dental school, 3.53 GPA, 314 flight hours (ppl instrument), involved in leadership and extracurricular activities throughout college. I've always been interested in the possibility of flying for Uncle Sam but recently I've considered the option, if it even is one, much more seriously (Marine Corps, in particular). The question I haven't yet found an answer to is: what do military aviators who serve their term and then move away from military life do? ie- jobs, careers, lifestyle after flying. I would assume that a majority of aviators do not stay in the service until they retire (though I could be wrong).
I'm sure there are current pilots with some post-military goals or retired pilots on here who can help me.
Thanks a lot,
Zach
