Thanks for the replies guys! (de727ups, Ewfflyer, EDC757, Scooter2525, MetJet23, Slice)

MetJet23 - Yes, I have looked into Parks College at Saint Louis University. However, I do not have the finances to go to a private school. It is out of state also, even though I live 15 minutes from it.

The plan right now is to go to a community college (SWIC, for anybody that lives in the St. Louis area) for two years and get an associates of science degree. From there I would love to attend SLU, but, do not have the finances. Is it possible for me to join a guard unit in Missouri even though I live in Illinois? That way I could have my tuition paid by the military while using whatever part time job I can find to pay for flight lessons.

If any military people are out there that could elaborate on how the guard works, that would be amazing. Thanks.
