Don't ever believe recruiters, they are the last person you should look to for advice. They will flat out lie to you, to get you to join. I known a USAF pilot that had his degree when he went to a recruiter and the recruiter convinced him to enlist. He was told this is how you become pilot in the Air Force. In reality he should have been pointed to an officer accession recruiter. He enlisted and eventually commissioned and went to UPT but it took him 4 years longer than it should have.

As for your eyes rev4life, what was the problem? Did you actually fail a test or did the recruiter tell you they were bad? If the former, check on waivers if the latter, he just wanted to try to get you to join and fill a harder to fill quota like finance officer or supply officer. There is no shortage of pilot wannabes and the recruiters will often try to steer you into something else.
