. I'm currently trying to get into this Baccalaureate Degree Completion program for aviation, I want to be a fighter pilot too. I was told there is a better chance to fly fighter jets in the Navy than in the Air Force. They have some really good programs for students intending to join though

Also I've been told by multiple recruiters, I know they lie haha, that you don't NEED perfect vision to be a pilot, as long as its correctable to 20/20. Anyone know if this is true?
I'm pretty sure that its true but if you need some sort of corrective surgery, I was told there is a six month wait limit after before they even start considering you. If you were to get something like lasik, get it much sooner then later so you aren't stuck with the waiting period when you want to go in. 

Also, if that's what you know you want to do, start studying for your Aviation Selection Test Battery now. I'm going into my second attempt on Friday (3 lifetime test policy). If you need any materials, look around the internet (especially Air Warriors forum) or get at me if you need some notes.
Appreciate that homie, I been studying up on it on & off but I got caught up with my schoolwork so I fell off, I was told to study for it because the test was crazy hard. Any notes you can offer would be greatly appreciated, I knew about the Air Warriors forum but lost the bookmark when my comp crashed. How did you do your first try? If you don't mind me asking of course.
 
Army said I'd have to go in enlisted, make SGT, then apply for Warrant Officer for UAV pilot....FOH!!

guess I'm going AF or Navy then...leaning more to Navy because I got a better chance of being stationed in Cali (most of their ships are in VA or San Diego)

the Air Force homies suggested:

- Aircraft Loadmaster
- Contracting
- Medical Material Specialist

I heard Loadmasters make 40/50 Gs after tech school with all the flight pay & flying thru combat zones (even if you don't land in 1, your next check is tax-free regardless). They don't even pack the cargo anymore like back in the 80s, strictly load & unload. I can f***s with that

How difficult is it to get into OCS for the Marines? I've got two more years til my bachelor's in CJ and am on track to finish at least magna cum laude while working full time. I'm not in the greatest shape but I'm putting in work to get into Marine shape.
