Thread revival: I've read the thread and it seems like G-tolerance is something that can be worked on (which is reassuring), so I my question is if anyone knows 6'2'' pilots that can sustain 8 g's? I have low blood pressure, 6'2'', and just for some additional information of my blood flow, my leg will fall asleep if I rest it on my other knee while sitting down in a minute or so. I am 203 lbs so I have that on my side, but since i'm heading to enjjpt this has been on my mind... thanks.

Yeah only half of us made it with engineering degress that started at my det, but I wouldn't sweat it. I partied all day every day in college and still got a pilot slot, and am very competitive for ENJJPT. Just pursue a degree you are actually interested in so you don't mind doing some work every now and then. Because as a lot of people can tell ya, Brooks can change your life direction in an instant without you even knowing somethin was wrong..so you need a good backup in a field that you will still enjoy. And as for a comment to flyingwolf, I do recommend doing AAS/PR or somethin that's corrolated with ROTC. Sure a 3.7gpa is cool, but being #1 in your class due to busting your ass in ROTC is even better when it comes to applying for pilot. I sacrificed my gpa (3.25) a bit to get a high ranking, and I never have regretted it. (Now if you have a 3.7 and #1, then you better ace your PCSM and you'll be flying fighters in a second). All in all you just gotta pick a path and stick with it, maybe a high gpa is your goal, maybe not. also....an additional plus is technical majors get ya to test pilot school
