I was actually thinking and wanting to join the military to fly but 1 i dont have a degree and 2 I had lasik eye surgery done and they said i was ineligible to fly with them.
Worked many jobs while going to college and even bartered during my PPL. I got them over time - not all at once like the pilots mills. Yes - in most instances you would need a degree to fly in the military but the Army has the WO program. There are some on here that know quite a bit about it - you can also do a search and learn more. They never called me back so I didn't get much info about it. about the eye surgery - I don't know the current rules and regs but they are easy to figure out on-line or through an officer recruiter.
