Depends on the Branch(army will take Non Commissioned Offciers to pilot their helos as warrants)  BUT \n\nMinimum:  Be a US citizen.  4 year degree in a tech or hard science major.\n\nCertain drugs are PDQ with no waivers.. LSD and Coke are two that come to mind.  MJ..only if it's under a certain number of times TOTAL and not within like the last five years.  No Alchohol or weapons related arrests or offenses.  You also must be young enough and healthy enough.. the Flight Phyiscal is very comprehensive.\n\nThe entire program is extremely competetive, no matter the Branch.  But will spelling and grammar skills like you have shown, I doubt you have a real chance.

I think so\nbut you need to talk to your recruiter in your area.\nplus most likely you can if you pick an area of work\nthat requires you to in an office or something like that...and no front line stuff\nso go look into it..I bet you can\nGood Luck

Yes you can get PRK through the navy.  You have to be screened first, and approval from your chain of command.  There is a priority bassed on job for waiting.  I was priority 2 due to being an MA, right now they are trying to get as many people through before deployments. It's easier than trying to replace glasses while deployed.

Depends on your age. If your under the age limit, then yes. That is if your talking Active duty. The best way is to talk to a Recruiter. If your talking National Guard or Reserves then you should have a good chance joining. You may have to go through basic again, that is if your considering Active Duty. Again, if your talking National Guard or Reserves, your previous basic training would probably be waived.

Ft Sill has a web site. Was he in OCS? google his class date of completion. Contact Ft Sill.

Ok, some of these answers are correct, others aren't.\nFirst, your vision does not have to be perfect.  In fact, there was a recent rule made that allows for the pilot to wear soft contact lenses with vision as bad as 20/400 (check on that though...not sure if those are exact).  But with 20/40 vision correctable to 20/20.  Having had any civilian corrective eye surgery will disqualify you.\nYou need to be an officer to fly.  NROTC, the USNA, OCS or any other officer program (such as seaman to admiral--where you enlist then go into ROTC as an OC).  Right now I am in NROTC at the University of Memphis (Marine Corps Option) and I am hoping to get picked up 1390 (student naval aviator).  Your degree doesn't matter, as much as some say it does and I thought it once did.  I have 2 buddies who were picked up for avaition and have business finance degrees.  I know another that has a criminal investigation type degree.  Just do well at whatever you pick.  Many people say majors such as history do better than engineering majors because they can easily memorize stuff what is what you spend most of your time doing in flight school.\nBeing physically fit is important in getting into flight school.  Also being very healthy.  You will go through a couple of in depth physicals and the DoD doesn't want to spend millions training someone who is going to be discharged in a year because they are prone to illness/injury.\nSomeone said stay out of trouble:)  Yeah that's true,.  What is really funny is that there used to be a part of the ASTB (Aviation Selection Test Battery) that used to ask personal questions.  Some of them had to deal with stuff like "Have you ever gotten a ticket for speeding?" and if you answered that question "no," it was counted wrong.  They have since removed that section though.\nFlight School usually takes about 2 years. You spend about 2 months in IFS (Introductory Flight Screening) where you get your private civilian liscence and they see if you really have the potential to fly.  You can do that in an area around your ROTC unit or in Pensacola.  The rest of your actual flight training will be in Pensacola Florida.\nNaval aviators are the best in the world (that include Marine Corps pilots!).  Work hard to get there if you want it.\nContact me or IM me on AOL at smeagolyduck13 if you have any questions or would like to chat about flying.\nO, and as for the one poster above who said the Academy has the most aviation slots--I believe that is untrue.  The Academy trains you specifically to be a sailor and be in command on a ship. ROTC has a proven higher percentage of people who want to become pilots getting pilot.  In the past 10 years not one person in my unit that wanted and applied for aviation did not get it.\nGood luck

Check this out, to be a pilot, You can do about 3 thing. 1. When you get out of high school, got to college, and enroll in ROTC. That way you can get 2 things out of the way, A degree and your commission. 2. Talk to a Recruiter about OCS (officer candidate school). The 3rd option is to make Warrant Officer. In which case, you go talk to a recruiter about becoming one. The difference in being a warrant officer and a regular commissioned officer is a Warrant Is the master of his/her job. They know it and every component that makes it tick. Regular officers know just basics. I am pretty sure of this because a great friend of mine is a CW-4( Chief Warrant 4). Also remember that you can navy or army and fly as well. In fact the Navy has more pilots than the air force. The Army has more the need for helicopter pilots though. I hope that this shed a little light.

It depends on what you classify as benegits...\n\nThere are a number of things that the Army can offer you...\nJob Skills\nLife Insurance\nFree Education\nFree Medical/Dental\n\nYou can also get certifications for various things through COOL/Dantes such as Microsoft Certification  Electricians Journeyman Certification and things like that.\n\nNot to mention that you there are bonuses for enlistment/reenlistment, perks for certain job skills, such as jump pay and things like that. For more information talk to your local recruiter or go to http://www.goarmy.com

Yes, if you get sixty credits, you can enlist as a private first class.  That's what I did.\nIf you go for two more years, and complete a bachelors degree, you can enlist as a specialist, or even commission as an officer.  Consider all your options before making a decision.  Joining the Army will change your entire life.\nGood luck!

You can go to the closest military installation, reserve or Active, regardless of what branch your sponsor is in.  However, it's a good idea to call ahead and see what their requirements are(some places need appointments, for instance, others may only do IDs on certain days.

With a law degree, almost any branch would be jumping for you.  The big part would be to pass OCS (officer canidate school)  where they teach you to lead troops.  I've never gone, but it sounds like a tougher boot camp than the one I went to.  As long as you are physically and mentally able to hack it, I'm sure you'd be sent to the legal section.  Your recruiter would be able to confirm that with the contract he draws up for you.  You'll know all the legal jargon by then and can read for yourself exactly what you are being promised.  If it's not to your satisfaction, have him change it or look to a different branch of service until you find what you want.

I can only speak regarding the Army on this one - branching is determined near the end phase (usually Phase III) of the commissioning process. Each branch has its different qualification requirements; specifically, the medical branch (MD, DDS, RN, Vet etc.) requires that you have a board certified license (like a medical from the AMA etc.). As you are closing in on graduation for commissioning, you will provide a "wish" list of the three branches you are qualified for and would like to serve in. DA will then send your commissioning source a list, by number, of the branches that will be assigned to your entire commissioning class (based on a roll-up of the lists from all the cadets/candidates). Then, based on your class ranking, you will select your branch based on what is available and what you qualify for (for example, whomever is first in class gets first pick at the selections that DA has provided - just out of experience Aviation usually goes first and then the maneuver Combat Arms branches - Infantry, Armor, Artillery - go next). HOWEVER, if you are NOT qualified you cannot branch - last selections are usually the Combat Service Support Branches (Quartermaster, Ordnance and Transportation). Also, certain branches have bonus commissions - that is where they are NOT commissioned as 2nd Lieutenants but 1st LT's or even CPT's (these are normally MD's and Lawyers). If this is very confusing and you would like more information, feel free to e-mail me at sofgrant@hotmail.com and I will do my best to clarify.

A B.S. in any college is a requirement for a commision, but not a requirement to get into special ops as there are NCOs in special forces.  West Point is the best way to become an Army officer, but you can also go through the Merchant Marine academy for your university education and then take your commision in the Army.  (The Merchant Marine Academy is probably the best kept secret way to get a college education from the US government.  You can take a comission in any service or serve in a Department of Transportation related job upon graduation.)\n\nFinally, do not discount ROTC programs in the universities.

I highly doubt that ROTC makes for a better Officer.  We don't need citizen soldiers, we need highly trained officers willing to do the job to the best of their ability 24/7/365.\n\nThere are other commissioning paths as well.. OCS is for College Grads who have not attended either the Service Adademies or ROTC.  They turn out great officers every single week.  In fact, an argument could be made that most of THEM are the better ones because a large portion of OCS/OTS grads are prior enlisted folks.
