Along those lines, when you do call the recruiter, you need to be very specific that you want to speak with an officer recruiter. The Guard and Reserve have specific recruiters who deal with off-the-street officer accessions (recruiting). You want to talk to one of those folks first (actually going to base ops and finding a few units that interest you and talking to them would probably be an even better first step). If you just call the local recruiting office, the person is most likely going to come up with some great line to try to talk you into enlisting (nothing wrong with that if that's what you want, but if you want to be an officer/fly, that's not who you need to be speaking with).
