I'm just curious if there are any military officers in FA. I am preparing to submit a package in about a year for a pilot slot through OTS and despite all the information and advice I have from others, I'm always looking for more views and opinions (and LOR too!).

I was a radar tech onboard an S-3 Viking antiSub aircraft. I might be able to answer some questions.

I have a close friend who is a 3 star general in the marine core and also a close relative who is a Captain in the Airforce flying F16's... Actually I think he may have bumped up a rank. If you can let me know what your questions are I can ask him

3 star general!
now i am intrigued Mr Broin!
I was a fusilier in Her Majesty's Army.... (which for those not in the know is about as far away as one can get from an officer....)

I'm not exactly sure what my specific questions are, as most of them have been answered. I guess I'm just still looking for advice and trying to answer the "is it worth it?" question. I have a very well paying job, yet I hate it. A military pilot career has been on my mind and giving me the gut turning feeling when I think about it for years. A 16 would be my first choice, but I certainly wouldn't be locked into a fighter. I think what I really would like is to talk in person with a few pilots and check out a base or two to get a better idea of the daily grind.
So is this captain willing to have a few drinks bought for him and offer a LOR? =)
