Navy pilot/ROTC
The University I'm heading to doesn't have a NROTC program. Is there any thing that I can do to better my changes of earning a commission for the Aviation program after graduation? I already have a 2.9 GPA.

Also get a study book and do well on the latest version of the AQT/FAR, whatever the aviation aptitude test is these days. Good grades, good score, and a good medical and you should be competitive.

What is your major? A 2.9 is worth more in a technical/science major than say business. You definitely want to get it above 3.0 and get the best possible recs and test scores (mind you, a quality rec isin't necessarily one from your congressman or senator or other such high vis people, but from someone who can tell the board who you are and why you would make a good OFFICER, not pilot). I know people who got into accepted with barely a 3.0 and others who got denied with 3.8, it all depends on whom you are competing against and how many they need when you get your look.

After several "no's" I finally got in and flew Navy. Being mil would speak well for you, flying skills:same. Don't quit. Good luck. Fair winds.

ANG or Reserve?
Any thought about the ANG or AF or Navy Reserve? I've posted this before but the ANG and AF Reserve hire folks off the street all the time and send them to pilot training. Call any Guard or Resrve unit you may be interested in and ask questions about a pilot slot.
