hi every one
i came here 4 years ago from iraqi kurdistan Duhok city a beautiful safe city I will become a US citizen next year, my father served the U.S Army for 8 years and two of my uncles as well. i really want to serve this country and wanted to join the navy but i live in colorado i heard about the academy and went near an air force base twice and saw the f-14s and now i am really interested in flying. i talked to recruiter and he told me AFROTC is the best way to go.
i got my GED last year and I will start school this semester i took the ACT last Saturday and waiting for my scores i will be majoring in either Computer Science or Mechanical Engineering, and i really want to join AFROTC an serve as a pilot i am willing to work hard for it but i will be 24 years in september and might be 28 or 29 when i graduate not sure if that would be a problem.
-I can speak and write Arabic, Kurdish, english.
-never done drugs before at all.
-always been an excellent student.
-never been involved with anything illegal.
-don't have any tattoos.
-never had any type of surgeries before and in a very good physical condition
in kurdistan there are four different religions Islam,Christianity,Yazidi, Zaradashti.
i am muslim but super inactive.
i know that USA and kurdistan region have a really strong relationship but am not sure if a Kurdish muslim can become a fighter pilot in the US air force because of what happened in 2002 which is totally understandable.
i was told that i can't be dual citizen and to me is no problem to get rid of my other citizenship because i am Kurd not Iraqi.
so my First question is am i actually eligible/qualified for the program?
Second question if i was accepted do i have chance to get that job?
thanks in advance for your time and answers.
