I know there is another post, enlisted to aviator path, but it does not discuss about how to start. I am a Philadelphia-born 19-year-old SKSR in San Diego with EOD Mobile Unit Seven. I have been at this command for about two weeks now and have had a childhood ambition for some time to be a pilot. I bent over backwards to try and be helpful at this command, like cleaning the bathroom when no one else will and all kind of jobs others are to lazy to do. I don’t care if I have to stay late; I do it with a smile on my face. I also have been out with the EOD volunteering to help out with opps, but however my Chief wont really let me go sometimes because I don’t really know my rate. I fully understand where he is coming from. The thing is I want to learn. I am very ambitious and will get what I want. I don’t care how hard it will be, I will do it. I asked my chief if I can go TAD to get qualified to get my SW, he agreed. I also want to get other things such as PJ, AW, CM & SOW. I will get these pins but my chief said he will not let me get some of these pins because he is afraid he will lose me. I am going to take my SAT’s soon after I take a SAT prep class. Then directly after that I want to take my ASTB with all the SAT knowledge still fresh. I hope to be picked up by STA-21 but I don’t know if that would happen, but I don’t care. I will start on a package online through their website after I get settled in my new surroundings; a full year to prepare a STA-21 package they will no believe. I also want to go to college to get a bachelors degree in a triple major somewhere but don’t know where. Ok, my questions are, does anyone know an officer recruiter that is patient enough to work with an enlisted sailor in efforts to get him into OCS as a pilot? Does anyone know a notable school I can go to locally to get a triple major in business management, web design and auto mechanics? Would these courses be a good base for a sailor having his sights on going pilot? I am also going for a PRK screening this tuesday, you think that could hurt my chances since my vision is 20/100? Sorry if I sound a bit overzealous, but I had the same motivation now as when I started my own business my senior year in high school. I currently still file all my taxes and licenses to this date. You can see it at www.Ventasm.com, sorry it is not up to par due to the fact I am still settling in my new environment. Please respond with any comments and/or advice you can give, it will mean a lot to me.
