I had a HS friend that was a B-1 pilot. He tried to get a job with the airlines after leaving the AF. He really struggled after getting out. He went to Embry Riddle to further his education, etc...he committed suicide a few yrs. later. Some say that it was because he overextended himself financially with the purchase of an expensive home. You never know, but I think I would have made the AF a career. I still think about him every time a B-1 is mentioned.
