Answer 2

Only 1 in 100 people that apply to the academy get in . From your previous question I thought you were a ensign already . If you haven't joined why did you bother with the advancement question ? I mean a Commander , crap that is like at least 15 years in your future . I hope you have finished college or this whole thing is going nowhere .

Answer 3

So you want to have the military pay for your school. Then they are going to spend millions, yes millions training you to fly and then you think that you can fulfill part of your enlistment in the reserves. Maybe some but.......

You already don't have commitment yourself so your chance at success is close to nil.

Answer 4

Its possible. It depends on what you sign up for with the scholarship for ROTC because you contract like if you enlist.

Academy is is active duty only. It is possible to curtail your obligation and go to the reserves, but its not likely in a time of war.

Answer 5

You don't seem ready to be fully committed. Why should the American taxpayer spend millions of dollars on your training when you are seeking to return as little as possible. Check out your local community college and pay for your flight training with YOUR money. If I had to call for close air support for my Marines, I would hope not that you were the one flying that sortie. It may get to hot for you and I my lose my air cover.
