DO NOT contact a random USAF recruiting office. They typically do not handle pilot recruitment.

Contact the ANG or AFRes units that you would be interested in joining. They have their own recruiting offices that can handle your questions, but I would call the squadron and ask for the operations officer and lay out your desires for him. Usually he has a good grip on squadron long term manning.

If you don't get positive responses from them, I would contact an AFROTC or Navy ROTC unit at your school or at a nearby school. Ask to speak to the commandant of cadets about an AFROTC pilot slot.

Having done both active duty and reserve, I would recommend ANG or Reserve. You'll get a lot of negatives about Active Duty on this board because the guys who liked and stayed on active duty never lurk or post here. Personally I liked active duty but it takes a different animal than the ANG.
