Good evening all my aviators, what's goin on? As most people, I have looked around the site for a while, and decided it was finally time to ask a question about the situation I am in.
I am currently a 21 year old future Poly Sci Grad (in May). I currently have a 3.5 GPA, and a pretty good grounding in Math and Science, almost too good. Also, I was able to stay in good shape in college, show PT is not much of a problem. However, the main problem I have is that I do not feel that I am mature enough for a leadership position my degree. After a couple of years debating, I went to talk to a recruiter about Navy, Air Force, and Marine Aviation. All mentioned the Aircrew program. Sounded interesting to me, except for a little skepticism So, I have came up with a couple of plans in order to acheive my goal.
Plan 1:Enlist into the Marine Corps (branch I am interested in)with a designation in either C-130 Flight Mechanic or Loadmaster. Bust a$$ from basic all of the way to the end of my first command (estimating about two years after completing all of the train, so about a total of 3 years in) then start applying for OCS
Plan 2o everything in plan 1, except
A: Join the reserves
B: Go back to school, under a comp sci major
C: Go to a school with a NROTC
So, any ideas/criticisms towards any of these plans?
