To fly a fighter - you must be physically qualified. Do you or can you meet their standards?

Personally - GET THE DEGREE. It is the most important thing now to succeed in today's companies. If you get no satisfaction from that piece of paper and assuming you are young - go active military or as previously mentioned in the guard. If you have that piece of paper - become an officer. If you become an officer - be a **** good one by being a true leader (look up definition in Webster). BE AWARE - if you do this soon you could go to the big sand box.

Why pay for school when you go enlisted and let TA pay for it and if that isnt enough, you can top it up with your GI Bill. Thats how I got my aviation degree while on active duty.

But, whatever you do ( military wise ) be sure and get EVERYTHING in writing. No exceptions.
X2 on this, check on what would happen if you cant complete OCS while serving, are you reassigned? if so to what? Cesnick is right, you only live once, dont live with regret.
