In order to become a fighter pilot for the Air Force, does one have to have completed ROTC? Also does a person have to a 4 year degree in any major to be elgible for fighter pilot, or is the AF looking for something specific. Lastly, should I speak to a recruiter before or after my college degree?

You must be a commissioned officer to be a USAF pilot.  There are 3 primary routes to becomming a USAF officer: US Air Force Academy, AFROTC, and AFOTS.  Each of these includes a 4 year degree. 

 

The requirements to get a Pilot AFSC (job code) do not specify a particular major; however ROTC and OTS give preference to technical majors for admissions into those programs.

 

The Academy is a 4 year college.

ROTC is a college program.

OTS is completed after graduation.
