I don't want to work some odd ball job in the AF if I don't get selected for a pilot slot. I want to fly planes for a living. That's what I've always wanted to do. I love flying and very passionate about it.
Probably best to not commit to the AF, but take as much ROTC as they'll allow. Then try for a guard or USAFR slot. Do civilian training and regional airline in parallel with college/guard.
