>Current college Junior
> Want to do this

I wanna fly choppers /k/. The Apache is sweet and all but it'd realistically take what I can get.

I have a 3.4 in political science and am really good shape.

How can I do this/is it worth it/ how hard is it to get selected

USA fag btw

Thanks /k/ommrades

Lmfao. Sorry.

I can't see you becoming a helicopter pilot without some technical degree. Best of luck though, it's an awesome goal.

Pilots are one of the only categories of commissioned officers that don't give a Sunday shit about what degree you have, the other being command. The later will be much easier to get through with a polisci degree though. Seriously though, only a 3.4?

Are you stuck on Army? Look into Marines as well, you could go to OCS and fly choppahs that way. If not, try to get into the Warrant Officer program.

Army chopper pilots don't need a degree to fly. Go talk to a recruiter about getting a flight WO package.

All other branches, you'll need a degree. Just FYI, Marine pilots have just under a year in before they even get to Pensacola.
Anyway just talk to a recruiter for army and look up your local OSOs for the other branches and talk to everybody

Samefag, another but a little known fact that at USMC OCS, you can be dropped at anytime with no warning and you may graduate OCS but not given a commission and you just go back to your civie life

This. Your best chance of being a helicopter pilot is becoming a warrant officer in the Army. Next best chance is Marines or Navy aviation.

Got it thanks. I saw on the website that both warrant and regular officers can fly.

What's the reason to go with warrant officer?

Finish college with a higher GPA, hit OCS and do VERY FUCKING GOOD and hope for active duty. Select choppers if they have a slot for you. Go to Rucker, DO GOOD and hope there are apache slots for your class. OR

Stay in school for 2 more years and do ROTC. Do good, doing better basically ensures your pick for aviation. Go to rucker etc

Finish college/drop out and pick up a street to seat option. IE go sign up to be a warrant officer, go to warrant officer school, go to rucker DO GOOD and hope for apache slots.

OOORRR do any of the 3 options but find a national guard unit near you or not near you that flies apaches, get a letter of acceptance and upon commissioning they'll do your paperwork and send you off to flight school for the apache. (Note: natty guard got their apaches taken away, or at least most of them so very slim chance a unit near you has any)

This guy has no idea what he is talking about.

1) If you enlist to attend OCS, you will 100% get an active duty slot.

2) It is, for all practical purposes, impossible to get an aviation slot via federal OCS.

Except that most do. They literally don't give a shit what you studied as long as you did well.
