I am a High school Junior and I graduate in May of 2008
I have a low 3.1-3.5 GPA at the moment, I'm in my schools Orchestra
- Should I drop it and get into something like weight lifting or personal fitness? I've also lettered in Lacrosse.
-Basically I know I have to get into OCS right?
-I want to fly any aircraft that starts with "F"
- Can anyone give me some steps from experience or something?
Find out if you medically qualify. Plan on getting a B.S. degree in something. Maintain a decent gpa 3.0/4.0 or better. Talk to the ROTC folks at the college you will be attending. After college, if you are selected after testing you will attend UPT. Your performance in UPT will determine whether you qualify for fighters. You will be competeing with your classmates for assignments. High School pe has nothing to do with flying fighters so I wouldn't be concerned about what you are lettering in.
I certainly enjoyed my time flying fighters and wouldn't trade it for anything.
