@sforronThank you! That is good to know

There are so many options and I am going to re-read through all the post carefully and try to make the best decision for me and my current situation. I can express how grateful I am for everyone's input Could I apply to OTS and guard/reserve for a UPT all at once after I get my 4 year degree?

Thank you everyone for your help! I truly appreciate all your information and advice!

@Kiloalpha Very true. Currently, I work full time and go to school, so that could certainly help take off the "load" while putting me on the right path towards my ultimate dream and goal. Just to clarify, I could apply at anytime in my enlistment as long as I have my 4-yr degree.

@Magic24 Would enlisting with a guard unit requirement me to take some time off from school? Also, could I enlist after school and then apply for a slot or will I have to finish out my first 4 year contract?

@bb17 Sorry I should of been more clear but that answered my question, thank you so much.

@bb17 Wow, well congratulations and thank you for your insight. I have wanted this since I was little, so I am never going to give up. As I live far away from an ROTC detachment and the chance of not being selected, ANG/AFRC seem to be a good fit. Is OTS as competitive as the ANG/AFRC.

@Kiloalpha Wow that is a long time. Does applying for spots work on a yearly bases such as, January 1st of every year you re-apply.

@bb17 Thank you so much for your information. I do like how with AFRC/ANG I will have a choice with selection of which time of aircraft. On service academy forum, I read that it can take years to obtain a spot and that one must have a ppl to become selected??

@bb17 Haha Idk, but I didn't delete anything. To be honest, I do not even know how to delete one single post

@BoneDust Not exactly the easiest route. Just suggestions on which would be the right path to take to hopefully allow me to obtain a commission and a flight spot one day.

Thank you for all your input! What was voted #1 worse overall???

Will a Varicocel DQ me at MEPS or my Flight Physical? I am really concerned and thank you for your help in advance!

I am looking into joining AFROTC in the fall; however, since I will be a crosstown student and I will have the option of deciding between USC (Detachment 060) and LMU (Detachment 040). I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to pick the most suitable detachment?
