Im really curious about this route now. Why did they offer you a positing through ROTC? Ive been trying to contact the local rep here, but he is never in his office it seems. Im trying for that, and I hope to have a fair amount of hours before getting into the air force (Im hopefully going to be flying all through college). If I get vision correction surgery ASAP and my private pilots license, will I have an advantage?
