starting out

[PressP]

I am 20 and deciding on a career. I want to be a pilot. Whats the best way to become a military pilot. Also, I wear glasses.

What's your uncorrected vision?

Assuming your uncorrected vision meets the requirements, you also need a degree if you want to apply directly for a flight slot. If you don't have a degree, you could enlist and let Uncle Sam pay for it. I assume the Charleston you mention in your profile is in SC. They have a ANG C-130 base there I believe. Go tool around there a bit so people can get to know you. You could enlist and go to that unit, get a degree, and then apply for a flight slot or apply directly if you already have the degree. I think they like to see management degrees or something more technical like engineering for pilots, but I could be wrong. Let me know if you need some more info. I'm stepping my way through the app process right now so I'm certainly not the authority on this matter, but I'll help where I can.
