VET-RECS (Google it for the exact web address).  You enter your information, and then print the signature sheet and send that in.  They said it would take four to six weeks to process my request, but I got my DD214's in about ten days.  You can also get verification of any medals and awards. (USN 1972-1985)

You can definately still get in as a ROTC cadet.  Just find your nearest detachment and arrange an appointment with one of their officers to get the details.  You'll be what's called a double-up (in other words, you'll complete more than one ROTC course per semester... which is really not as difficult as it may sound).  For AFROTC this incurred an additional two weeks at field training during one summer, but NROTC might be different (I know AROTC is).

Not so hard from High School as it is on active duty. I can only speak for the AirForce, but there are other types of scholarship programs, besides the standard ROTC scholarship, that send you to directly to college for a commission - some ROTC, some OTS, or direct comission if you're coming out to go to nursing school.

your eyesight does not have to be perfect.  \ngo to \nwww.afrotc.com \nto apply for the AFROTC scholarship.  If you are going to be attending college this upcoming semester you can't get the scholarship for this semester--so just talk with a ROTC instructor at the school you wish to attend.\nI can explain how to get into flight school via the US Navy and US Marine Corps, which I have heard is similar in many ways to getting into the USAF flight program.  Do well in school...perfection is something everyone should strive for, but remember that "perfection" is different for everyone.  A 3.7 could be looked upon as perfect as a 4.0 if you are involved in activities with a 3.7, or even a 3.5.  I know in NROTC (not positive with AFROTC) you can major in anything (underwater basket weaving if you'd like) and as long as you do well you can still make it into flight school...in fact, it's said that history majors generally do better than engineering majors in flight school cause they are trained to memorize.  Be physically fit, do well in school, be dedicated to whatever you decide to do.\nIM me on AOL IM at smeagolyduck13 or contact me via yahoo if youve got any questions.\no, one more thing\nThe navy trains the best pilots in the world...(includes the Marines)\nSO...\nGo USMC or NAVY!!!

minimum commitemnt for anyone entering any branch of the military is eight years.  This can be divided in to Active Duty, Reserves,  Guard and Inactive Ready Reserve.\n\nThe Navy currently has Perform to Serve, which I believe is 15-24 months of AD service; the remainder followed by IRR time.  Other enlistment contracts start at 4-6 years Active Duty, depending on the rate and time required for instruction.  \n\nThey start kicking you out at any time past 20 years, although several people have gone 30 years or more, but they MUST retire by the time they are 65, regardless.  Only ADM Grace Hopper was allowed to serve past 65.

I would first suggest getting some books and studying for the military flight aptitude tests. I don't know about the USAF or Army, but I can tell you what I know about the USMC. The USMC is part of the Department of the Navy and both branches receive identical and combined, primary and advanced aviation training. So both flight training programs are approx. the same in duration. The Coast Guard also is combined in this training.\n\nWhen you decide to you want to become an aviator for the USMC you will sign an "air contract" with the OSO, complete the PLC or OCS program, receive your commission upon completion of college (4year degree) and then attend The Basic School. TBS is 6 months of additional training that all new Marine Officers receive. Upon completion of TBS, you will attend API an 8 week course, then move along to Primary Flight School and if you complete you will be selected for either fixed wing, rotary or the tilt-rotar platform. Next is Advanced Flight School where upon completion you receive your "wings of gold" and will be selected for a particular aircraft. Next you go to the FRS to learn to fly that specific aircraft and then finally you move to the fleet. This training can take anywhere from 16 - 30 months depending on how fast or slow they are training. There is no guarantee you will complete and become a pilot. It all depends on how much effort and studying you put in. There is also no guarantee you will fly the aircraft that you want. When my husband signed, an aviation contract was for a minimum of 6 years A/D service after receiving your wings... it may be 8 years or more now.\n\nSo, to answer your question you have an additional 6 months of training in the USMC, otherwise it's all the same aviation training for USMC, USN and USCG. What will get you to your dream of flying the quickest will be your hard work and dedication. If flying is your dream I say go for it! It's the hardest thing my husband's ever done but he loves every second of it. See which branch you will be proud to be a part of, not which one will get you in the air the quickest. Good luck!

Your engineering degree is in demand.  Your GPA will determine how competitive you are.  \n\nOCS is 12 weeks long, and your wife would not be able to join you in Pensacola.  your follow on training, must be at least six months long before she would be able to join you.  \n\nOnce you hit the Fleet, you will be gone a lot, or very little.  It truly depends on which platform you get, where it is the deployment cycle, and the need.  Sea duty will be at least 3 years assigned to a ship or sub, but underway periods can last anywhere from a couple of days to 9 months at a time.  Most JOs have back to back sea tours, so you are looking at a minimum of five years at sea.  \n\nMy husband has been an Officer since 1999.  His first year was spent, maybe 25/75 at sea/at home.  Second year 50/50, third year, 75/25.  and THAT was "shore duty" where he went TAD to ships to get Qual'd in his community( Information Warfare).  His next command was Sea duty, and he went on several underways and deployments lasting from a few days to six months.  he decommed that ship and immediately deployed again for six months, less than a year after his last one.  \n\nSubmarines go out a lot more often than surface ships do, although typically they are gone for less time at once.  \n\nIf your spouse has concerns, she can take them up with the officer recruiter, who might be able to give her an idea.  She should also look into joining an online support forum such as military.com to ask questions of curent spouses.

Ok, some of these answers are correct, others aren't.\nFirst, your vision does not have to be perfect.  In fact, there was a recent rule made that allows for the pilot to wear soft contact lenses with vision as bad as 20/400 (check on that though...not sure if those are exact).  But with 20/40 vision correctable to 20/20.  Having had any civilian corrective eye surgery will disqualify you.\nYou need to be an officer to fly.  NROTC, the USNA, OCS or any other officer program (such as seaman to admiral--where you enlist then go into ROTC as an OC).  Right now I am in NROTC at the University of Memphis (Marine Corps Option) and I am hoping to get picked up 1390 (student naval aviator).  Your degree doesn't matter, as much as some say it does and I thought it once did.  I have 2 buddies who were picked up for avaition and have business finance degrees.  I know another that has a criminal investigation type degree.  Just do well at whatever you pick.  Many people say majors such as history do better than engineering majors because they can easily memorize stuff what is what you spend most of your time doing in flight school.\nBeing physically fit is important in getting into flight school.  Also being very healthy.  You will go through a couple of in depth physicals and the DoD doesn't want to spend millions training someone who is going to be discharged in a year because they are prone to illness/injury.\nSomeone said stay out of trouble:)  Yeah that's true,.  What is really funny is that there used to be a part of the ASTB (Aviation Selection Test Battery) that used to ask personal questions.  Some of them had to deal with stuff like "Have you ever gotten a ticket for speeding?" and if you answered that question "no," it was counted wrong.  They have since removed that section though.\nFlight School usually takes about 2 years. You spend about 2 months in IFS (Introductory Flight Screening) where you get your private civilian liscence and they see if you really have the potential to fly.  You can do that in an area around your ROTC unit or in Pensacola.  The rest of your actual flight training will be in Pensacola Florida.\nNaval aviators are the best in the world (that include Marine Corps pilots!).  Work hard to get there if you want it.\nContact me or IM me on AOL at smeagolyduck13 if you have any questions or would like to chat about flying.\nO, and as for the one poster above who said the Academy has the most aviation slots--I believe that is untrue.  The Academy trains you specifically to be a sailor and be in command on a ship. ROTC has a proven higher percentage of people who want to become pilots getting pilot.  In the past 10 years not one person in my unit that wanted and applied for aviation did not get it.\nGood luck

You can enlist without a degree and earn your degree while you are active duty.  I've known many who have done just that.  But you will not become an officer without the 4 year degree period.  ROTC will only get you stripes without the degree.  Even with ROTC you still need the degree.  No getting around that.

Talk to a recruiter. You attend college, but have to spend extra time in NROTC activities and courses while attending normal classes. After you graduate, you become an officer and serve a couple more years. \nYou stay in school during the NROTC program and are not sent off to a war if there is a war going on.
