Thanks for the advice guys. I have used the search engine, as well as reading many other threads on this great site. I just haven't found a lot of information that helps me decide which direction to take... I mean, I don't want to go the Naval Academy route, not get selected for pilot training, and then owe eight years to the NAVY.
How does the selection process for a training slot actually work? Back to my original question, will I have a better chance of getting a training slot if I go to the academy?
