<p>NCRC4,</p>
<p>If you want to fly go to the Air Force Academy. I was in the same position as you were, but I made my choice because I have a passion for aeronautics. Also there are times where the AFA will not fill all their pilot slots, so that means that if you really want to become a pilot then you will (as long as you pass all meds and flight screening). Now, if you have a passion for leading others, then go to USMA because you will be leading a platoon right after graduation. I was told by numerous Air Force officers that it takes years to actually be in a position to lead others, such as an aircrew. For example, during my nomination interview one of the board members, an AF Major, told me that it takes years to be in a position to lead others if you are a pilot. He told me that he is just now starting to lead others.</p>
