In order to fly fixed wing in the military you’ll need a bachelors.
If I were you I’d join an army guard unit as a warrant officer, fly helicopters, get deployed and rack up hours. Come back and convert everything to fixed wing, get fixed wing CFI and flight instruct/part time guard until ATP minimums. That will be a much cooler and more rewarding experience than paying $1300 a month from now until you die.
That’s a good idea, I spoke to an AFROTC recruiter and as long as I can finish a degree within 3 years (I know I have my AA but if I change my major from business to something more technical like aviation it should take about 3 years) I can do the program and potentially fly for the Air Force but we’ll see. I do love & respect the military but it’s something I would like to avoid if possible just because i know it would be an additional 8+ years before I could actually fly for the airlines but if that’s the only option then so be it!
