I think the Army has a program where you can enter as a warrant officer and learn to fly helicopters for them. You have to score high enough on your ASVAB and a general aviation knowledge test. They advertise it as a high school to cockpit program or something like that - Google it and you should find all the info you need. An ex army guy at my current job recommended it to me, and it sounds like a pretty good deal. There is a 6 year commitment, and obviously they're training you to send you to Iraq/Afghanistan/Iran/Etc. On the plus side, Uncle Sam will pay for your training, and the army's not suddenly going to close up shop.
