What major did you take in college?
General Studies. 2nd best move I've ever made.

Good luck with what you end up choosing.
My .02 would be to go to college. If you're dead set on getting an aero degree of some sort go for it. I will say, you don't have to have such a degree to be selected for a pilot slot. Using my self as an example, I was a senior in college before deciding to join ROTC. With a NON technical degree and a 2.4 GPA I still got a pilot slot/graduated/commissioned. You can look at it either way, 4 years of college/ROTC/OTS or 4 years of enlistment, while earning a degree, then OTS. Both paths can lead to the same outcome and it isn't really which one is easier or harder, it's which one is more likely for you to earn a pilot slot.
Again good luck, hope you make it one way or the other.

Anyone have any insight into whether active duty UFT candidates with PPL or higher are still getting waived on the IFS prerequisite?
Yes. A few here have been waived with PPL or close to it with around 70+ hours. They applied for it in early November and and found out mid-late Dec for dates in Spring.

Any other UPT bases axe blues?
Laughlin just got rid of 'em. First hand account of the commander saying, "Well I was going to get rid of them if we had a unanimous vote."
One person out of the auditorium voted to keep them... but yes they are gone!

Enlist or go to college?
in What Are My Chances?
Posted
Because I wanted to study what I wanted to study. Maybe a bad career move maybe not, time will tell. I did choose concentrations I thought would benefit me in the AF and outside it whenever that may come. I did try to avoid "usless" areas of study. What I chose for my concentrations were:
Mechanical Engineering (Always interested me)
Military History (Always interested me)
Aerospace Studies/AFROTC Classes (Just happened to fill the last spot).
Any questions on the degree program, which varys I'm sure, PM me.
