Getting college paid for will not be much of a concern. The colleges in my state all offer full tuition scholarships for the grades I have and my parents are very supportive. Therefore, I don't really see enlisting in the guard as being that beneficial. Also, I don't see the point of applying for an ROTC scholarship either.

As for air-frame, I would prefer fighters just like most people. But, after talking to other AF pilots, heavies seem pretty appealing as well.

Based on the information you guys have given me, ROTC seems to be my best bet. After all, if I don't get a pilot slot, I can always serve my commitment then train to be an airline pilot afterwards.
