Right now there is conflict going on, they need pilots. However the military is as fickle as any employer. Look at what happened after WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf I, reduction in force. To save money we get rid of wings and squadrons. Don't need as many pilots, so hard choices have to be made. These decisions are always hardest on the ones not making the decision, of course. Talk to the pilots who flew in Vietnam on what happened between 1975 and 1980. I put in 11 years was planning on a career and was told in 1975, after evacuating Vietnam the previous spring, your services are no longer needed. Found a reserve squadron and said good-bye.The lesson I got out of that was go military.
