Aviation/Flying/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer many types of questions on military and civil aviation, and aviation/aerospace history.
Experience in the area
I am a Second Lieutenant in Civil Air Patrol, and run a military aviation website .
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
It had been my dream since I was 3 to fly military jets, but a back injury put an end to those dreams. Though I'll naver fly for the military, I can still teach about their aircraft, and maybe encourage somebody else to reach for the sky. Currently, I am a senior at Fairleigh Dickinson University, majoring in communication and criminal justice.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
People as far back as Leonardo da Vinci had designs for aircraft. In fact, in 2003, when some of his designs were tested, they actually flew!

I do not know the GPA standards for ROTC, so I can't help you there. As for ROTC being your best option, I would suggest that you get in touch with an ROTC unit or an Air Force recruiter. They can
2008-11-07 Which branch of the armed forces?:
Thanks for using askanexpert. First, only the Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard deploy on ships. So if you don't like the idea of shipboard life, you might want to steer away from those. Second, in

Embry Riddle is widely regarded as one of the top aviation schools in the world that is not a military academy. In all honesty, I do not have any information about how the job outlook is for pilots.

2007-01-19 F18_Super Hornet:
This is really an opinion question. The F-14, in my opinion is the finest figher that the US military has ever had. The big selling point of the F-18 is its ability to do air-to-air and air-to-ground
