Would love to hear your opinions!
Thanks
Go to college get your degree.. prior enlisting is a waist of your time (I was 5 years prior enlisted) Also don’t set your mind only to Air Force, the Marine Corps offers a guaranteed flight seat after OCS... the options are still the same as the Air Force too; fighters, heavies, rotors, and the Ospreys... Prior service looks ok, but that is really waisted time. Besides you can still become a pilot in the military until 28 or 29 anyways you have lots of time!!
