    Thank you for clarifying. What quality does the hiring board search for to distinguish from your peers? Do you have any tips for remaining

    competitive in the class?


    Thank you,

    Tommy

    Thank you for the detailed response! I’m still learning a lot about the different paths. Is OTS a good option if I want to get my degree first? I don’t want to close any doors on myself if I take a specific route.

    Thank you! Do you think I can do ROTC even with my gpa being a 3.2?

    I heard with ROTC it is extremely difficult for pilot slots to open up, I also hear many of them are left waiting years before getting the chance to step into an aircraft. Was what I was told accurate?

    Thank you! I was looking into attending the New Mexico Military Institute then transferring over to the academy (If I decide to go the academy route). If not, I’ll transfer from the military institute to a four year then apply to guard slots. When should I start applying to guard units? I am also currently working on my PPL, do you think it will help with prior flight experience?

    Thank you for all the information and advice! I really appreciate it!

    Thank you both for the advice! I’ll keep my grades up senior year and I should end with around a 3.2. Is there anything I can do right now to prepare for the road ahead?
