I'm 15 and have my heart set on becoming a professional pilot. I've looked into the civilian route and it looks dull. I want to fly some of the more exotic aircraft like the cargo and bomber planes. I guess some of you would rather call them bricks with wings and leave the exotic title to the jet fighters. I would love to be in military service but I have some questions about my chances of getting to fly a more complicated aircraft. I plan on talking with some recruiters so I'd appreciate it if you'd answer these instead of telling me to go ask one.
1. When I was 10, I had surgery in my left eye to correct "cross-eyedness." My left eye is just a bit weaker than my right. I plan on going to the doctor but I'm thinking I have 20/30 and maybe even 20/20 uncorrected. I know it's correctable to 20/20. So the question is, can I fly in the military?
2. I plan on serving a 2 year mission for my church at 19-21 years of age. Can I still enter a certain branch of the military and get a degree in computer science and at the same time fly?
3. My ACT is 34. I haven't taken the SAT yet and my GPA stays around 3.4. Are these good enough?
4. I'm a big person, 6'1" 205 pounds. Is this withing their height-weight requirements?
5. Do I really need to be involved with sports and leadership programs?
6. What is the best branch of the military that would suit me? Remember I'd like to fly the larger aircraft, I don't care about pay as long as I get some good flight time in.
Well, thank-you. I'll probably ask some more questions as time goes on, these are just off the top of my head.
