mab436,

Your profile looks strong, with good leadership and a number of differentiators/assets (DoD, pilot, international exposure). Assuming a 700 or higher GMAT you could aim fairly high. A question mark would be your age. You should know that only about 10% of entering MBA students at most top U.S. business schools are older than about 28-29. Feel free to send me your resume for a closer look.
