I still love flying but I would say that flying in the military is only about 30% of the fun civilian flying is. I know lots are going to disagree with me on that point but being the sole decision maker and on my own schedule make flying fun. I've ferried two aircraft from Alaska to the lower-48, circumnavigated Australia, flown my own plane to Airventure (Oshkosk), flown seaplanes in Maine, and bounced around backcountry strips in the West. If your only experience with civilian flying is renting a bird to fly to an FBO and get a burger you're missing out on some amazing flying.
I will say everything is relative - depending on the flying you've done in both areas. I've done the FBO burger/b-b-que thing more times than I can remember, camped under the wing of Cessna's at Oshkosh a couple of times, flown in and out of many little grass strips, and enjoyed every bit of this type of flying - all before I went into the Navy. Then I was blessed to have flown single seat a/c for the USN my whole career, off of gray boats and many different airfields, flown over many different countries at high altitude and low levels at 200', seeing sights that the average person never has the opportunity to witness, "fought" against the best high performance a/c the free world had to offer at the time (and one MIG 21) in antiquated A-4's. I'll admit, it was a different era when I was flying, but I had a blast 99% of the time. So yes, my fun time flying in the Navy far exceeded my fun time flying in the civilian world. But as I said in a previous post, I enjoy flying, no matter what type. Everybody is different and different people have different preferences, likes and dis-likes. I understand your point....but to me, my Navy flying was like what I often tell people when they ask me about my flying career...."I can honestly say I lived my dream."
