You take a test called the AFOQT that and other factors such as GPA determines wether or not you become a pilot for the rated board

I am currently taking out loans and working a job to pay for school. I do not currently qualify for the ROTC scholarship at my university, because my GPA dipped first semester. Would enlisting in the reserves to help pay for college be a good idea? Then head back to college to attempt again? I'm...

Coast Guard doesn't "kill" anyone, if anything they save more lives and police water, less than 1% of the US military is combat arms. Don't let your parents discourage you. Do what you want, trust me you wont regret it. Keep high school grades up, its easy just budget time

Coast Guard can be a safety school for you it sounds like. USMMA is pretty close to USCGA

If its a physics class I would say don't drop but it depends on the reason to drop? I had a friend who waited until July to get their coast guard academy appointment, they look at second-semester grades too, because there's a lot of people that get waitlisted. If your grades drop and they can...

No harm in trying. But there's a new administration coming in January 20th. Government paperwork takes a while

From my friends experience it took 6 months.

We don't have the answers, I say relax. No means new opportunities. Jokes aside. If you don't have asthma say no. Don't complicate it. If it's a pet allergy, talk to your recruiter. I know people that get waivers but they're service academy people with high gpas

If there's no history before age 8 then say no. No need to complicate your situation. and it's also legit recruiter advice, there's a real article about it. Sounds like he doesn't have asthma

To be frank. No ones going to care about your religion, skin color, etc . It's about performance, leadership, gpa . I know a middle eastern American Muslim new Air Force LT cyber space officer from university of Maryland. Just be yourself. Don't be solely defined by one thing. And it's college...

For citadel 80% who apply get in only about 25% actually go. For VMI it is all about applying early to get your spot. In high school I had a 4.0 gpa got wait listed from vmi then couldn't attend because I applied late and the slots for the next class got filled. Send in your application asap...

Massachusetts should be easy to get nominations, depending on district

Idk how you'll get selected for field training, yet my school has a huge detachment very competitive. Summer classes help

If you have a high 4.2 gpa you can probably get a waiver. I've seen someone with a peanut allergy get into coast guard with a waiver recently.

Yes make sure you stick with it. College is a heavier course load than high school but I've seen many non stellar high school students go to great college students, it takes work and planning

If it's George Washington or university of Maryland NROTC. Or some Ivy League. Do NROTC. If not do usna. If you got in them all. Doesn't matter where you go. Most top generals and admirals these days are ROTC grads now than ever. USNA will be 24/7 military style while trying to feel like a...

Sounds like you want George Town. Honestly forget the other colleges take GT and the army scholarship, most 21 year olds won't even have a job that good of 2nd lieutenant after college graduation. Most people just go to community college. Go to Harvard or priceton for grad school, undergrad is...

Thanks I considered all 3 but narrowed down to army is the right one, I'll talk with them. I appreciate the advice

First off I am not a contracted or scholarship cadet. I got over confident my first semester, failed a general education economics course I wasn't interested in and finished with a 2.1 gpa. I realized I messed up. My question is, should I not take army ROTC my second semester to focus on my...
