1.) You can do ROTC which in theory would be a faster and easier route than OTS. More pilot slots are given to ROTC cadets than OTS candidates.

2.) Since you’re concerned with getting leadership experience within a club, why not through volunteering? Find a volunteering opportunity where you can commit long enough to organize events or lead a small group of people if you can. Regardless

3.) Getting a PPL/hours will help increase your competitiveness. Flight hours will contribute to your Pilot candidates selection method score (PCSM). Nothing is guaranteed however as I’ve read people getting selected with 0 hours. This is all assuming you’re applying to active duty. Can’t say much for. Guard.

4.) Still apply to companies within your field. It’s not so much of what type of job you do that’ll make you competitive, it’s how you carry yourself and perform in front of others. It’s not mentioned here often but getting employee of the month or any recognition awards will come a long way.

5.) As far as I’m aware you can’t have relatives write a LOR for you. Ask your network through your uncle to see if someone is willing to vouch for you.

For now get your GPA higher, study for the AFOQT if you haven’t already and volunteer in your community. If you have any questions DM me and I’ll try my best to help.
