pilot

Hi there, I'm a soon to be graduating college student (receiving my Bachelor's) and I am highly considering joining the Air Force. I'm majoring in Adapted Physical Education. I'd like to know how my major may affect what I will do in the Air Force. I would like to end up flying "heavies", but I...

A place for the class of 2018 Cadets who are going up for the rated boards this February to share statistics, drop dates, advice and more. Feel free to post any questions as well! Good luck to all those Pilot, CSO, RPA, ABM hopefuls!

My ultimate goal is to become a pilot in the Air Force. Though I also want to have the greatest chance possible to get an ROTC scholarship. Is it true that if I pursue, let's say, aeronautical engineering that I will most likely become an engineer in the Air Force? Will the major I choose affect...

I am a AS100 cadet. I am thinking of switching my major to nursing and have a few quick question. 1. For the EA boards does a nursing EA mean you have to/will be branched into nursing. 2. Can nursing major get a non-tech/rated EA(if those still exist I keep hearing different things)? 3. Can a...

Hi everyone, sorry if this question has been posted before. I am new to all these forums but I tried to search as much as possible before asking. I am a 200 and I am trying to take the TBAS early so I can have the chance to take it a second time if needed before our packages are submitted junior...

I have always wanted to become a pilot, and it is about time to choose. I have my ppl and am hoping to become a pilot. I want to enroll in afrotc, the reason af is because I'm not a big fan of helicopters and I know the other branches have LOTS. Of course I want to fly f22s and f16s but I would...

Hello everybody! I am currently a senior in high school and have wanted to be a military fighter pilot ever since I watched "Top Gun". I want to go to college for Computer Science and do some form of ROTC (If I can keep my head on straight throughout college), I've read through forums like "Air...

First off, a big thank you to this site. Such great information and the help from others has been outstanding. Earlier this year in April I received the denial letter from the Air Force Academy. Since then I have inspected every aspect of my resume and have taken lots of steps to gain...

Hey- I was watching this video of a former navy pilot: He mentioned something about a non-negotiable contract with your NROTC or OCS program in which you would be guaranteed flightschool in your contract and wouldn't be commissioned otherwise. I heard a lot of other people on forums getting...

Hi- I'm looking into prospective careers in the navy. It is my hope that I become an aviator in the navy, or a pilot in the airforce. I was wondering if there was enough job mobility in the navy to transition from being a fighter pilot to a helicopter pilot. The reason I am asking is because...

All- On the new student questionnaire, it ask what your principle reason for attending the academy. One of the answers is to eventually attend flight school or training. For those that attended the academy, does the academy look down upon students that are upfront about flight training in the...

Alright, so I am currently deliberating my decision between USNA and USAFA, which has to be made very promptly (5/1/16), and today is 4/27/16. I'll be honest in saying I'm still very in between on this. At this point I've figured out that my experience at either Academy will be great and I...

Hi- I'm only a sophomore but I'm planning future contingencies if I don't get accepted by the ever-so-selective Academy straight out of high school. I have multiple questions about AFROTC, so bear with me. 1) If I decide to attend a civilian university, is the AFROTC a worthwhile program and...

My goal is to become a pilot, I am dead set on that. But which route would be "better" or more guaranteed? I got wait listed at the USCGA, but hoping I eventually get accepted, my choices then would be there or joining the Air Force ROTC at the University of Central Florida (UCF). Which school...

My name is Drake Huffman, I am 17 years old and am a junior in high school. I have a 3.3 GPA, I am very involved with community service in my town, from mini league football camps, to being camp counselor for 6th graders. I was the captain of the football team and was thinking of running for a...

Greetings all, (This is my first thread, so forgive me if I diverge from any customs or courtesies unique to this forum.) I'm a junior in high school with strong aspirations to be a fighter pilot in the Air Force, and (hopefully) a NASA astronaut at some point down the road in my career. My...

I honestly couldn't find where else to post this question but I am trying to apply for the Air Force UPT OTS channel. Below are all my scores, I appreciate anyone who can say if these are competitive or if they know anyone who has been selected recently with similar numbers? AFOQT Scores: 91...

Hey everyone. I am currently a second-semester freshman AFROTC cadet and my major goal in the Air Force is to become a pilot. My second choice (backup) is to become a combat rescue officer. However, my second choice could possibly become my first as I have absolutely no idea what happens if one...

I know its been done before, but currently im in a tough decision point. I'm a current 2nd year student at a community college. I was granted a Congressional Nomination to the USMMA and now i just recently sent in my Application for admission. I'm also working with the Marines on the PLC...
