The Army has a program referred to WOFT (Warrant Officer Flight Training), where unlike any other Warrant Officer position; you dont have to belong to the Military before starting training and its often referred to "High School to FLight School". (It all has to do w/ helicopters, not fixed-wing)

Does any other branch, or the Army, have any other programs dealing w/ piloting? Or any other program where you go in the Military right after High School and it leaves you w/ a good job within the Military and skills you could use in the civillian world? (ex. like WOFT, leaving you w/ piloting skills and a Warrant Officer position)

Any advice/help would be great.

(It doesnt have to do w/ piloting, any program that leaves you w/ good training that doesnt associate itself w/ college; right out of High School)

Well, IIRC WOFT doesn't QUITE work that way.
You must go through the Warrant Officer Program to become a Warrant before the Army's going to shell out bucks for Rucker. Not before.
Other services work the same way, though you must be a commissioned officer to be a pilot in the USAF, USN, USMC.
That means a Bachelor's as a minimum.
However, non-pilot enlisted aircrew positions exist in all the services:
Flight Engineer, Gunner, Boom Operator, Weapons Director, Pararescue. are all great careers for a young person.

All of the branches of the military will give you a job based on well you do in testing.
