I am currently a senior in college and have 1 semester left to receive my BS in Mechanical Engineering. I currently hold a 3.1 GPA. I received Lasik back in June of this year and everything is 100% normal so they say. I've passed the Class 1 flight physical for the Army..
However, I have a few law run-ins.
1. Unlawful possession of alcohol when i was 20 - case dismissed with 20 Hrs of Comm Service
2. Two opperating to endangers for going fast on my motorcycle - both dismissed
3. Disordery - dismissed with $300 court fees
I was informed that before being accepted into OTS/ pilot school, each candidate must be accepted by a board of aviation commanders that meet about 3 times per year.
My question is this, will any of these things disqualify me, even though I did not get convicted? Also, will this be the only thing they look at during the board? I'm curious as to what else they will look at, captain of my teams, being in a fraternity (seeing as though squadrons are a fraternity within themselves), engineering, and I also currently hold a Department of Defense Secret Security Clearance from working a year at Lockheed Martin.
Any input from actual pilots or recruiters would be helpful. Thanks.
Matt
