Although that su*ks to the 10th power, you have to remember never to put family before aviation, its just not worth it imo.  If you read aviation articles you'll see that many pilots are divorced 3-4 times is it becasue there personality, maybe, but more likely becasue they are never home since avaition is in front of the family.  My instructor and teacher told me the best way to go into aviation (pilot) is to be single and young.  I mean come on haven't you checked out those super hot female flight attendants?

Wow, having gone through all of that, through the Academy, and he just quits because of his wife? There's only one word for that (err..., maybe two), and I'm not gonna say them.

Well, more spots for other people.

Good option too. But if you want a career in aeronautical engineering or the like, you'll have a lot of options after your doing flying in the AF if you are a Academy graduate w/ Air Force experience. The AF Academy, along with the Naval Academy, are considered some the of the nations most prestigious technical institutions, ranked right below MIT, CalTech, UIUC, etc... (at least in my mind).

Regardless, getting a job with a big aerospace company is easier if you have AF or commerical flight experience.
