With the exception of their satellite campuss', ERAU In-State tuition is pretty darn close to most Out-Of-State University Pricing.
USMC can get you a Guaranteed Flight Contract as long as you have a 4 Year Degree with a 2.0 GPA or higher. You can do the first half of OCS your Junior Summer.
It keeps you driven to stay in shape. They expect you to be ready when you get there. Dead hang pull ups, etc.. When I was preparing for OCS I was in the best shape of my life.
Seriously, though, my Buddies that have retired from the Army as former Helo Pilots are making bank now.
I still don't understand why I chase the fixed wing dream....
