Just join the airforce and request pilot. You will have many tests to pass and some are outside your control like sitting height/eyes and such but right now nearly every aviation squad across all the branches are undermanned. They are almost accepting anyone these days they are so desperate. Also you dont need to necessarily join the airforce to fly. Army has warrant officers for helicopters, navy and marines and planes and copters on aircraft carriers too. Figure out which one is best for you. Air force is hardest to get into by the way.

Actually no, to get the pilot slot in the USAF, arguably one of the most coveted military positions there is you have to put together one of the most solid and comprehensive resumes (community service, 3.5+ GPA, logged flight hours, prior leadership experience) I knew a guy whose job was a civilian flight instructor who was turned down and had to be a combat systems officer (nav) like me.

Somehow through all odds, I've found my time to shine.This thread is FULL of retardation. You do need a 4 year degree, but it can be in literally anything, although aviation or engineering is an enormous advantage. The medical at Wright Patt DQs about 10% of applicants ( who already have a dodmerb ) and your follow on medical DQs about 5%. If you want to guarantee being a fighter pilot, you will have to apply to a guard/reserve base, and if you're not happy flying anything else that's definitely the way to go. An A-10 squadron got 200+ apps this last board, interviewed 20, sent 4 to UPT, and historically only about 2 of them will make it through UPT and also through IFF. 3/4 of those picked up were prior enlisted/commissioned already, the 4th guy had a ton of civilian hours ( which helps with PCSM score ). Every guard/reserve squadron is at least this competitive ( for a T-38 track aircraft ). If you want to go active duty and " roll the dice" your odds improve, but not really. 40% or so of applicants are getting picked up on the rated boards for OTS. My UPT class of 20 had 4 wash out ( higher than average ), and only 3 got T-38 slots. Of the 3 , 1 A10, 1 F16, 1 B52. The process isn't as long as med school, but you'll be waiting for years before you ever touch a fighter. 1 year from application to OTS at least, 3-4 months there ( including wait). 6 months at a UPT base waiting to go to IFT, 1 month there, 6-12 months ( because of corona ) waiting to start UPT and touch a jet, and then UPT takes another 14-20 months depending on your wait time between phases 1 is closer to 20, another is closer to 14, then you'll wait 2-3 months to go to IFF for another few months and another few months to start your B-course, one of the B-courses has a year long wait. You fight tooth and nail to get through the program, and it's at least as difficult as med school if you go fighters. I can answer more qs if you want.

Don't listen to the haters in this thread. It's actually really easy to be a fighter pilot.

Aside from astronaut its probably the hardest job to get in the world. They even make the women work for it, which in the military makes it truly remarkable and unique.

Your best bet if you want to do this is get your tickets in the USA then move to Africa. Probably better off rotors but they have fixed-wing combat pilots in the anti-poaching patrols. Some of them have AHRLACs and Super Tucs, which is fucking dope and way more fun than the USAF or Navy in the [current year]. But you're gonna get bitched around for at least a year or two before you do anything, especially as some pissant white American.

There are no " books to study" for pilot school. I could send you an enormously huge mountain of military pubs, but none of them will make any sense until you're there, regardless of how autistic you are. There are a ton of reasons people wash out, and they change as the program progresses. In academics you wash out for not studying enough, in phase II you wash out because military flying is incredibly stressful and the expectations are very high. In Phase III you wash out for "not having the right stuff ", and in IFF you wash out for not being gifted at flying enough. You can get pretty far in the program having brick hands if you study hard enough. You absolutely do not need prior experience to do well at UPT, neither of the fighters from my class did. Guard/Reserve squadrons are undermanned, but not due to a lack of assholes who want to fly their planes, it's the pipeline overhead, your odds are still not good there.

Anon, I am in your exact same shoes and have already done the research. I graduated college last year and have a typical normie wageslave STEM office job.

You can use your degree to get into officer school and become a pilot... HOWEVER, you will not be able to become a fighter pilot unless you have flight hours under your belt already.

To nab a fighter pilot slot you need a PCSM score in the 90’s. Anything lesser can get you a slot flying bigger non-combat planes, but fighters are highly competitive. If you score a perfect score on the entrance tests you can get your PCSM around 70, but you need flight hours in order to boost it into the 90’s. So unless you did Aerospace in college you’re going to be JUST’d.

There are lots of dank STEM jobs in the AirForce though, if I can’t fly drones I’ll be aiming to do one of those. Good luck and hope to see you in the skies bombing the chinks in a few years.

What you said about maximum PCSM without hours IS true, the rest is hilariously untrue. PCSM goes out the window the second you get a rated slot ( unless you're applying for G/R ). If you go active duty, it's not even part of your packet to be placed in fighter/bomber track. Average PCSM to get picked up for pilot on the rated board has historically been between 40-60 for the last two decades. Again, see my throwaway kik if you want help getting your foot in the door.
