I've been in 32 years in the Air Force. His best route is to get into an academy. The next best route is to go ROTC and pick his college.

My 15 yr old son is considering this route b/c he really wants to fly. Not so much fighters…just fly. As a fall back he’s very computer and mechanically savvy. We figure he’ll get the best training in the world and with the AF not running through the desert getting shot at.

I don’t know if he can get in or not…he’s a varsity FB player with size so I’m wondering if that might help too.
