A friend's son went through ROTC at Colo State U at Fort Collins, then into the A F and pilot school at, I think, Brownsville. He flys mostly B-52s, but as a grad of the test pilot school at Edward's he has gotten to fly a lot of planes, and had a good career.
I don't know how many pilot openings there will be in the near future, if we are actually getting out of the Iraq war, finally , and may be winding down in Afghan. Also with the poor economy there may be budget cuts in the near future including defense spending.
On the other hand, if there are budget cuts and less defense spending, there is also likely to be less civilian pilot jobs also, especially any that pay a reasonable wage.
