Default Re: Military or Civilian??

Quote:
Go to a large state school, enjoy college, get involved in extracurricular activities outside of aviation, and THEN decide if you want to pursue a ROTC scholarship or you want to pursue the civilian pilot route.

With the Air Force Academy, no guarantee you will get a pilot slot!

Out of all your schools, I would look into Purdue University first.
Actually, short of getting hurt while your there, EVERYONE that wants a slot out of the academy, gets one. The leftovers go to ROTC. But the rest is very true. Get a degree in something you love thats not aviation related. You'll feel a lot more confident when tough times like these roll around.
