Also, because of all the luck involved, would all of you recommend that I not go into the commercial aviation field, and I go to college for another major and train on the side?
I have been looking into the University of North Dakota, but I want to have something to fall back on in case piloting doesn't work out.
Yeah, there is a possibilty of getting killed in Guard but I could also get killed driving to work in ATL. You have to decide if you can live with that or not. As far as a degree goes I would have a back up. I went to UND and did Criminal Justice and Commercial Aviation. In case the flying doesn't work out maybe I'll go be a cop or work at some other law enforcement oraganization.
