[airman22]

I am elisting and heading off to boot camp most likely sometime in June. Im trying to put together a list of jobs but 'm kinda lost. I want to ultimately be a pilot but im not sure what job will get me the advancement i need to get there? Any ideas?

[Lt Col USAFR]

Only officers can be pilots. If you are serious about that do not enlist. Go to college & get a degree.

If you cannot for whatever reason, here is what you should do. Look at the jobs listed in the first source link. Find one you think you'll like that is aviation related.

Do that job extremely well. Start getting your college degree while on active duty. Make a plan to become an officer and the get into pilot training. Use the second source link to understand the requirements and age limit.

Good luck

Intelligence. Thats what im getting into. With the BA that i already have, added with a Top secret clearance, I will be able to land a $80k job.

They have a very good In flight Missile repairman school.

Also, the bomb drivers course is excellent!

Parachute tester, signal flare recovery team, grenade fragment locater take your pick
