I have to agree with Mike P. I went to Purdue but my girlfriend at the time went to WMU. I was always floored by the women in Kalamazoo compared to West Lafayette. Regarding your question: Purdue has a great flight program. I've been out two years now and head to OTS in April. Many of my classmates and friends have since gone on to the regional airlines, but several of the more intelligent graduates have, or are working on, careers in the Air Force. Of the approximately 60 pilots that I graduated with, I can think of at least 7 that are, or will be, flying either Active Duty or with the Reserves.

Would going for the C-21 increase one's chances of eventually getting into something like a C-37, C-32, or C-40? Or are those aircraft usually flown by guys who've been in for quite a while?

What would cause someone to become medically DQ'd during UPT? Isn't the FC1 the big hurdle to get by, and doesn't that happen before UPT?
