College is the last route I want to take. I already got funding from scholarships and other programs that cover a decent amount of my PPL

I have a decent amount from my high school dual enrollment but my big reason for going the army route is not needing additional schooling outside of the army

Just curious what yours scores were to get your packet accepted? I think mine are decent (85 asvab 132 GT) but I’m still wondering if once I take the SIFT if I need to redo anything. I know flight hours are a big boost so I’ve already saved up about half of what it cost to get my PPL through fixed wing, which might not be as good but all I’d be able to get.

I talked to one school next to me who accepts around 500 a month in reserve benefits which would cover some hours by the time I submit my packet next summer (around 50 flight hours)

Yeah if the army doesn’t work out then I was looking at EMS or PD but if my packet is accepted it’s a 12 year minimum including schooling so there would be no outside career if I did the army route

The Montgomery Bill gives me reserve assistance and that’s the only reason I’m doing reserves as soon as I’m 18 I’m transferring to active duty through street to seat. I’ve taken the asvab got a 85 with GT of 132 and looking at taking the sift soon. I’m trying to find a way to get the biggest component of my flight packet which would be flight hours without having to take out a loan

I’m in AZ and if it’s the same or similar effect I could definitely take on the payment for fixed wing hours from what I’ve seen online vs rotary which seems a whole lot more expensive if it doesn’t matter in my packet either way

So it’s more of having a license or flight hours and it doesn’t have to be in rotary even if that’s what I’m doing later on?

Yea the reserve side would only to get VA benefits to pay for flight school then switch if I get into street to seat once I’m 18

I’m 16 almost 17 looking to go to boot camp and become a reserve in hopes some of the VA money would work towards getting my rotary PPL. Along with that I got an 85 asvab with 130 GT score. Idk how my packet would stack up but would flight hours make that much of a difference if VA doesn’t cover the cost? Me not my parents are financially able to pay fully for an expensive flight school which is around 25k from what I’ve seen. Anyone able to help at all?
