Should I go through Embry Riddle and get a 4yr degree then Air Force to become a pilot?

Hopefully there is a ROTC detachment at your school or a nearby school. The Academy is not completely out of the question, but by the time you get in, you'll be done at your current school. If there is no ROTC at your college, then you might want to look at transferring soon or potentially doing a 2-year ROTC program while working on a masters.

OTS is a possiblity, but is tough to get into and they don't get a lot of pilot slots. Also, there is a max age for pilot training. I think it is 28, but I'm not positive (might even be 26 or 27).

Once you get in to ROTC, you would need to then get a pilot training slot. If you don't get that, then you would still probably end up getting a commission and doing 5 years in a non-flying job. Pilot training is a 10 year committment that start after you finish pilot training (any active duty service committment you incur for any training start after you finish the training).

Not to demean your 4.0 GPA, but there are plenty of people who graduated the Air Force Academy on the Dean's list with a technical degree that still washed out of UPT. Just because you can answer multiple choice questions about mDNA doesn't mean you can successfully land a T-38 in a cross wind without the IP taking the controls from you.

Only two ways to become an Air Force pilot and you are not in either path - either the AF Academy or four-year AFROTC contract. The AF gets 99% of its pilot candidates from those two sources. You are not going to become an AF pilot.

You can finish your degree and try for the Navy or Marines. Easier to get started, a lot rougher to finish with a failure rate usually 45%-55%. Incidentally, you are not a "shoe-in" for passing the four, four-hour standardized tests or the intense classwork much less the high-pressure flight training.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
