True newbie here looking for any and all info you have to offer about the process! Thanks
That would be the way to do it, so you aren't taking a huge financial risk (possibly the rest of your life), and if you become an officer other opportunities should open for you. If you become a pilot in the guard, you will have no problem flying for an airline, not to mention you won't be so dependent on it, to pay back loans or whatever.
