I have considered this myself. But cant ever get a clear answer from anyone what the entire process would be for me. I will have my degree real soon and I am well under 30 so I am not too old to start flight training in the military.
Also I have had a broken leg, and knee surgery. Even though I am in shape, due to my one knee I likely cant run the Air Force require time for the 1.5 mile run 100% of the time. So from what I hear, I am likely do be DQ'd or would need a waiver or two.
Also, I am not in guard unit now so I would need to be an off the street guy. But I know the local unit (115th) has hired some civilians off the street.
if you dont mind, can you pm me some details?
Thanks
