USMA then jets

Since this forum attracts students who are under age, I think it would be inappropriate to encourage posters to divulge personal information.

I completely agree with that. I only meant those members who have a resume with the U.S. Armed Forces. And certainly, we don't need names and locations.

11 pages. This thread is done, unless you have a direct answer for the OP (which I think was made on page 2).

I think we lost the OP when we started 'flaming' him. He hasn't been back since. (And I don't blame him). Sometimes we lose fact of the knowledge base of some of these young posters.

It's not a bad gig at all The Air Force also has a pilot-physician program where you are dual designated as a pilot and a physician.

WHAT?? I'm definitely pursuing this!

Not to take the thread too far off topic, but it's a pretty small group, like probably less than 10 people in the Air Force. Most are pilots who fulfill their original commitment then go to medical school then come back to the Air Force. Their career progression is a bit weird in which assignments they take when, but the one I have met seemed quite happy.

Is it possible to do it inversely, and instead of fulfilling the commitment before, go to medical school with that 3% of the class right after graduation, become a flight surgeon after medical school, then go to pilot school soon after? Seems like too much of a long shot, plus they have cut-off ages to becoming a pilot. One is hard enough without the other anyway.

Welcome to the dream sheet of hornetguy. My hope is to hit grad school, followed by ENJJPT, followed by my FTU + first assignment, followed by med school which would HOPEFULLY put me in the PP slot for the Strikes. We shall see. Bullet and Pima have done me great service with some fantastic connections!

I hope the mods forgive me for answering this instead of the original question.
