Are you kidding?  I mean, yeah, you have a commitment to at least 4 years of service afterwards, but you're an Officer, which is like 100 times better than being enlisted, you have a bachelor's degree that the fucking military paid for, AND, you have the ability to leave after up to two years into the school.

I would have totally loved to go to the AF Academy if I were a somewhat more competitive choice.  A 3.0 GPA doesn't get you very far in terms of service academies.  So I enlisted instead. XD
