You will have a better chance finishing college first. If you come in as enlisted you start from the bottom and work your way up. Plus when you enlist getting the time to finish your schooling in a time frame you have set is hard to do especially right now.

Definitely go college first and then join. It is very difficult once you enlist to move up to officer. There's never time to attend classes. I had a friend who tried this and usually ended up dropping because of his work load. You can get into special officer programs while enlisted but there is a lot of competition.

You can't be an officer without a college education. Go to a college or university that has AF ROTC. You can graduate with 2nd lieutenant's bars.

You need a degree to serve as an officer in any military branch, and even then there are no guarantees that will be selected as an officer. I highly recommend you get your degree fist if that is what you want to do.

Ask an Air Force recruiter.

If you finish college and then enter the service, you will enter as an officer. Best of luck to you, and thank you.
