I am on an AROTC scholarship as an Aeronautical Science major at Embry-Riddle and hopefully will enter the Aviation branch when I commission. I may be thinking a long way down the road but what is the possibility of being able to go to law school after a few years as a pilot? I know the FLEP program is extremely selective so are there other options that I can go to law school while still serving?
First, congratulations on your scholarship.
As I'm sure you know, Aviation is the hardest branch to commission, start strong and be prepared to continue that hard work for your first 3 years. A few things you should shoot for, a Min. 3.5 CGPA at the end of your junior year, 300 APFT, every EC you can belong to or participate in ROTC, train hard because you will need an E at LDAC. If you can finish in the top 10% of the Active Duty OML you'll be guaranteed your choice. Best advice is to do the best you can with the things you can control GPA and APFT.
As far as law school after a few years as a pilot that is going to be tough.
Remember that the Service Obligation for the Aviation Branch is different then every other branch. While ROTC Scholarship cadets are required a 4 year Active Duty obligation (If they commission AD), Aviation has it's own obligation.
The service obligation for Aviation is 6 years after you graduate Flight School. Flight School can take anywhere from 14 to 18 months to complete, sometimes longer. From the time you graduate college and commission it may be months and up to a year before you even start Flight School.The Army is going to want those 6 years in branch from you due the the amount of money they have spent training you.
So if you branch Aviation you can figure you will be Active for nearly 8 years before you have completed your obligation.
If you are thinking about Law School you may want to consider a different branch when it comes to commission. You'll have plenty of time to work all this out.
