&lt;P&gt;In the AF, about 40 percent of pilot slots go to the academy, 40 percent to AFROTC, and the remainder to OTS (so I am told).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The AF likes technical/science degrees, but it is&amp;nbsp;NOT a requirement.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;

I am double majoring in Professional Pilot and Aerospace Administration. I have no doubt in my mind that I want&amp;nbsp;a future in the&amp;nbsp;military and have never second guessed it. I like college and will keep with it but I was wondering if there was any other ways that I could school (military academy or something) I have been trying to do some research and I just cant find any answers to this. Do I need a degree in Aviation or can I join a military branch right now and get the flight training that I need?</description></item></channel></rss>
