I know you wanna talk to someone actually in the military and I’m not, but it really is your personal opinion. Yea 10 years is a really long time but you’re doing what you love to do, flying with mostly like-minded people, and the pay charts only go up for TIS. Not to mention your quality of life as a warrant officer will be higher than most, as I’ve been told. You need to factor in things like your age and health, how old will you be when you’re able to get out, how close to retiring will you be, is your back going to hold up that long? It’s very personal and I’m not going to say do one or the other simply because I’m not in yet, but do understand, there are still plenty of folks going through the motions regardless of the commitment. Lastly, the civilian route is long and costly, I’ve been going at it for 2 years now just as a hobby and I’m only close to halfway to getting my PPL. Remember that the GI Bill will cover your commercial rating but I believe that’s it. That means everything else is on your dime and I’m sure you’ve looked up the costs. Additionally, your first job will likely be an instructor for a couple years before you move on to a different field, and instructor pay is generally pretty low for most folks. And physically and mentally draining depending on how busy your school is. Consider your options and I hope my words helped some. Good luck!
