Yes, it helps a bit. College grades/degree, leadership experience, etc. are more important for getting into a commissioning program (which you NEED).  Also, do some research into the age limit for pilots in the branch you want...the clock is ticking.

You need to be commissioned as an officer and get a pilot slot.  To be commissioned, you will need to go through a service academy, ROTC at a civilian or private military college, or OTS after graduation.  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). The AF

Mix it up.  Do some sprints, some 250s, and a mile every once in a while.  Freestyle and competitive backstroke would be the best, IMO. (Not Navy, so I don't know what they like)

USAFA admissions will look kindly on a upward trend in grades.  If you can keep your future grades to the 3.5-4.0 range, you would probably have a pretty good shot. AFROTC would also look kindly on an upward GPA trend.  Your EC's look good.

The height requirements for military pilots are largely based on ejection seat parameters.  (They don't want pilots dieing during ejections.) I don't know if there is any waiver process for height. ***This is only a requirement if you want to be a military pilot.

You're on the right track.  Be an active and contributing member in your detachment.  Do well in classes.  Those GPA and Commander's Review are the largest items in the order of merit calculations (which determines who gets to pick their jobs first).  So, to have the best chance at getting a UPT slot, you want to be very high on

Yes, you can do that.  It depends on what you want to do. www.afrotc.com should have a listing of all schools with detachments and schools with cross-town agreements.

You have two obvious choices, both of which require doing well in college.  First, you could do AFROTC in college.  This is your best choice, IMO, because they get about 40% of the pilot slots each year.  Your second choice would be graduating and getting into OTS (which gets some pilot slots, but not a whole lot).

Carefully consider your options.  Joining the military is a big deal.  There are few guarantees and it requires a LOT of commitment.  I think it is worth it, for me...but the decision is up to you. The academy usually gets about 500 pilot slots per year.  It is not too late to start applying.  However, you sound like you ...

There is no such thing as an ''enlisted officer.'' I don't know that much about Navy programs (being USAF).  However, you could probably find a lot of information by talking to a NROTC commander (hopefully one at your school or near you).  Also, you could go to the official Navy site and poke ...
