My family has served in every branch except the USCG, and I was NROTC early on. The educational benefits are great, the GI Bill is great, the VA financing you can access is great. None of that requires a 20 year stint.
I knew quite a few officers who planned on doing the 20 year office career and then retirement. None of them made it. I knew plenty of officers who wanted to be stationed in Hawaii. They got a taste and then were redeployed elsewhere. The Air Force you think you know does not exist. They are as cut throat as any corporation. And like a corporation the closer you get to retirement the harder they try and spin you loose.
Your daughter may do all 20 years of service. But do know that one day she will plateau career wise and when she does that is when the sharks circle. [0]
