One of my life long dreams is to join the Air Force and fly. I mean, ever since I saw the Navy's Blue Angels, I've been wanting to fly for a long time.
I am a 17 year old, I played Lacrosse for two years, but I quit because of the students frequent marijuana abuse and the effect it had on the team. My GPA is garbage compared to what I see in some of the kids here, a mere 3.0.
I talked to my parents, and currently we're not financially stable, but I have the hugest interest in getting an Aeronautical Masters at any school, preferably the famous Embry-Riddle University at Daytona. My SAT's were pretty bad. I took my first one with a 1600, and I'm starting to sign up for ACT's because my strongest points are in math and science, rather than english.
But I'm having doubts. My family can't pay $50,000 tuition what-so-ever to get that degree. And I've been crazy about the Air Force...
Normally, I'm a really optimistic kid, but this is something I have NO education on. What are my chances of getting a full-ride scholarship at EMUA? What are my chances of even making a pilot slot? And what are the chances of becoming a U2 pilot? What are the chances of becoming an officer?
Another note: I would like to become a cargo pilot after serving. Will the Air Force help me with that?
I'm sorry I have so many questions, but I don't know who to ask.
Thank you!
