Thanks for all the advice. I do appreciate it.
My major is political science. I picked the degree because I enjoy the subject matter. I'd like to be able to tack on finance or perhaps something else business-related, however that would take me an additional 2 years to graduate. I've sent an email out to the detachment at UNLV and have yet to receive a response. I have received a response from the AF Reserves, so that is a consideration as well. I don't think I'd be able to fly fighter aircraft because I stand at 6ft 7in. I remember a recruiter mentioning something about not being able to eject properly (boy that'd be fun!).

I think there's a 245lb. weight limit for the T-38 ejection seat.
.. guys who actually know what they're talking about feel free to correct me!

The weight issue doesn't worry me too much. I am a big boy, but I weigh about 225lbs. After tonight's dinner, I know I can stand to drop about 15lbs
:-D.
The Navy and Marine Corps do not have ROTC programs at my school. The Army, however, does. Does anyone know why a technical degree is more consequential for the Air Force than the Navy or Marines?
