I've heard people say you need a bachelors degree to join up as an officer and start flying.

Is a "bachelors" degree really neccessary? Or is there just a certain amount of college credits needed, like for instance could a person with two associates degrees get accepted as if he had one bachelors degree?
You need an accredited bachelors to join any military branch as a commissioned officer. If you enlist first, you can sometimes get a commission later with an associate or similar coursework.

You will need a bachelors to fly in any service except the army. There have been very rare opportunities for navy enlisted to acquire a flight slot without a degree.
