Let's see. Which service is known for flying in the AIR?
To become an Air Force pilot, you must have a 4-year college degree. The 3.5 GPA is in high school or in college?
If you are still in high school, congratulations for thinking ahead. Contact your high school counselor and/or the local Air Force Recruiter. The Recruiter is the point-of-contact for the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC). They can also direct you to the local contact for the Air Force Academy.
If you are in college, contact the Air Force Officer Training School (OTS) Recruiter. They can get you scheduled for the proper tests (physical & mental) to verify qualifications for the Air Force.
The Air Force Recruiters are required by regulation to make sure each person that comes into their office understands what the highest (most difficult) program that they qualify for.
Good Luck!

The Air Force is widely said to have the best bases and conditions. But, both are looked down upon by Army and Marines as not being "real" soldiers (or Marines). Not my opinion, just my experience.
Becoming a pilot is highly selective and will depend on more than just your GPA. If you can get some civilian training under your belt beforehand, that will help.

you probably stand a better chance of being a pilot in the airforce. Yes, your grades are good enough. Just make sure you are taking a lot of science and math.

The marines also have pilots, But I believe you need a Associates degree for that. Air Force if you can get in. If not you might want to look up the Army.It offers you the chance to fly helicopters with no degree. It can be difficult to get coming straight in, but it is possible.

Well if you want to be just a pilot go Air Force,but if you want to be the best there is then Navy is the way to go.

Why not consider the army? There are a lot of emergency medical helicopters used by the Army that would also give you training you need for the civilian world when you realize you no longer want a military life ... it would be a nice combination of medical and flying.

I only stopped because of your avatar. They are basically right grade average will matter less then your interview and testing. Any and I mean "any" infraction even a speeding ticket can hurt. Fixed wing versus rotary will matter as well. I vote getting the Government to put you medical school, you'll hardly ever get a heat seeking rocket up your butt doing that kind of work.
God Bless You and The Southern People.

Air Force has a better way of life. I know many air force enlisted would have better quarters than navy pilots.

The Air force without a doubt! Those guys get paid a lot and it's a great job. Its the most intellectual of all branches, and the quality of living is much better than other branches.
