If anyone here seriously considers military flying.. You can't just go to the local recruiting office to sign up. Officers are recruited at the MEP center. That's the main recruiting office for a region. if it's not an officer signing you up.. he's probably lying to you. I've heard stories of guys walking into the local recruiting office at the strip mall and being told they go through basic training as an enlisted and go fly later.. not how it happens.

You go to officer school and then flight school, signed up by an officer to be an officer. If you don't have a four year degree, you can fly helicopters in the Army.. good flying, but the least desirable of the military flying simply because of quality of life. PM me if you have any questions.

There is allot of sacrifice as well. I thought it was worth it. Start a thread here and ask the questions. Lots of former military guys here to give inputs..
