I am new to this place, my friend referred me to this website. I am impressed and am liking it. But there is one thing that has been bothering me and I hope some of you out there can help me. I have wanted to be a pilot since I was a boy, and have worked hard for it. After high school I was well on my way to achieving it. I got accepted to Texas A&M University and joined the Corps of Cadets and was on an ROTC scholarship. I had worked HARD and earned everything that I had hoped for. But... I only stayed at A&M for a semester and left, giving up my scholarship and everything I had worked so hard for. I absolutely HATED it in the Corps...the way that I and everyone else in my outfit was threated, unable to focus on pretty much any of your college work due to upperclass men, etc. I ended up leaving and having to take medicene to keep from getting amonia, I was right on the verge according to the doctors. I don't want to put down the Corps of Cadets in any way and that is not my intendtion. I truely believe it had to do with my perticular outfits upperclass men. 31 fish started out, by years end... 13 remained. My question is though, if I couldn't make it through the Corps, how could I make it through OCS and flight school on top of that? Is OCS harder than the Academys and military schools? I believe I have what it takes, and apparently a few others did as well since I was lucky enough to get a ROTC contract. I am coming into the last of college and need to make a decision, but am fearful that I will fail if I try again. Does anyone have any words of wisdom or enlightenment on this issue?
