Yea Right
Dude, you crack me up! I almost $hit my pants when I read that comment.
I guess you have already been to OTS then..huh?
OTS is nothing like college....AT ALL!
Just like UPT is not like a run-of-the-mill flight School. Just because you study hard, and make good grades now, does not mean that you are ready for the "mental" challenge of OTS, and is not any indication that you will succeed in the Air Force. If so, than they would only pick candidates with good GPA’s from great colleges.
OTS is more than academics. In fact, many state the academics are easy. There is a lot more to OTS than you think. It teaches you leadership, responsibility, Time management, Attention to Detail, sacrifice, commitment, and a lot more. They will rip you a new A$$hole for folding your socks wrong. Everything you do will be wrong, and you will have to be a man about it.
I would love to see the look on your face, when you tell your flight commander, or an upperclassman what you stated here.
If you think you are going to join the Air Force, and breeze through OTS. Than the first think you should do is: grab the back of your neck, and pull your head out of your A$$.
I wish you luck, and I hope you get past the board, and your physical so you can make it to OTS. There, you will get a check up by DR. Reality, and you will learn a few things. Based on your comments here, I would bet that you don’t make it through the first week.
I would stick to your original plan(to save yourself time and humiliation), and go through the civilian route, paying for your hours with bananas. Hopefully you will not run into any “Mohamed Atta’s” along your way.

I'm not too worried about the mental challenge of OTS/UPT/SUPT. I don't mean to brag, but I've attended a top-tier engineering school for over 5 years, have been busting my ass, and am usually ranked in the top 10% of my classes.
