Hey guys,
I'm interested in the military, always have been. I think the one thing that has always stopped me from looking more into it is just not knowing where to start.
Is it possible for someone like me off the street to get into the military as a pilot? I can't go to the air force academy, do ROTC, etc (already done with college). I'm in my early-mid 20s, have a degree in engineering, and am a CRJ FO with a good bit of turbine and dual given time. I feel like thats a good resume, but I have no idea if the military would be interested in someone like me.
So, my question for all of you, where do I start / who do I talk to in order to "get the ball rolling"? How much of a chance do I have? Is it possible to get a guarenteed pilot slot prior to signing the dotted line?
Also, what can I do to improve my chances? Any tests I should go take? Medical exams I should make sure I can pass? etc
Thanks all....
