Should You Become A Military Pilot?
- The differences to consider between the different aviation branches of service
- Why I wish I had flown for the Coast Guard
- Why it’s better to be a Warrant officer in the Army if you want to fly (and why you just need to do high school to flight school if you want to fly helicopters)
- Why I switched from being a Major to a Warrant Officer
- Job prospects leaving the military and why you should consider that before you choose a branch
- What it’s like to fly in the military and how that makes you a better pilot….and a worse pilot (worse because we only tend to fly one airframe and know nothing about Part 121, 135, 133 etc)
- Why you should consider location when you choose a branch of the military (ie the south vs the coast, vs ship duty)
