another thing to keep in mind is that just because you *want* to stay in for 20 years and retire, doesn't mean you *can*.
my cousin was a captain in the army (he did rotc in college). after about six years of service, he was effectively forced to move to reserve status. he described it as basically like a staffing cutback in the private sector.
btw, he was recently called back up and is on his way to iraq. he's a good man, and i'm proud of him.
