Hi all,
I am currently a college freshman at Oakland University, and I am very interested and motivated to become a helo pilot in the USAF, or possibly the USN. I plan on transferring to Western Michigan University to major in either Aeronautical Engineering, or Aviation Flight Science at their College of Aviation. After completing my bachelor's degree I plan on joining either the USAF or USN, attending OCS, flight school and training, and hopefully filling one of the highly competitive flight slots.

My question: Which major would be more practical? USAF or USN? What can I do to become more competitive for a slot? How should I go about this dream of mine chronologically?

Any advice from former or active military personnel is preferred.

Thanks!
