Should I join the airforce or go to college? Just graduated aviation mechanics school and have an A&P license?

-I want to be a pilot eventually one day its my dream. Thing is I don't have money for it, I would have to save up for it. My dilemma is College for aviation maintenance or join the airforce. I know its very hard to become a pilot for the army most people dont get in and I dont like the 4 year commitment part. But I know the army has more options and opportunities. So in the end no matter what I want to be a pilot. Any advice?My nephew went to VMI and is serving his country as a jet pilot. So a college education for flying airplanes is needed. Pretty much any branch of the service has pilots so you aren't restricted to the Air Force.

I would recommend, as the poster above suggested, doing some research. Your dream is best fashioned when you are the designer. Thank you for considering service to our country.
Do the college ROTC, Air Force or Navy -

Or do the Army, as Warrant Officer and fly helicopters now -

No college degree required for Army -



Out of the Army, you get a FAA rotorcraft/helicopter pilot license -

Then with your GI Bill, get a fixed wing CPL or ATP transition -



I did the AF ROTC, and AFRES - I owe my airline career to that -
