Hello everyone,

I am a 24 year old recent college athlete graduate who isn’t using his degree. I am trying to get some advice on what would be the best possible route to get me there as quickly as possible to start gaining seniority. I have several friends who have joined flight schools and some who have joined military. As of right now I am considering joining the air national guard in Birmingham, AL as an officer (first getting my private pilots license for experience) and am also considering joining a flight school in Atlanta. The main reason I haven’t already joined the flight school is because the loans I would have to take out and the debt I would be in after rather then joining a military branch and get paid while learning how to fly. I’m open to any and all advice and suggestions.

Thanks
