Yes. The airforce, if you get a pilot slot, will teach you how to fly. You can have zero hours. So long as you can pass the physical and a few other tests you can get a pilot slot. Also you have to have a 4yr degree it doesn't matter in what.
They'll start you just like a preprivate. You'll go up in small single engine planes and learn pattern work then progress into soloing. Then you'll move up to a little bigger and little faster aircraft where you learn all the systems and learn to formation fly ect. After your 11 years are up you'll be pretty darn good at flying.
