Answer 1

Yes, there is a program called AECP. Its very competitive and people who are selected normally have a technical or nursing degree, as well as a high GPA.

Have you considered college ROTC? Its different from high school ROTC. If you have a solid high school GPA, you should consider competing for the four year scholarship that AFROTC offers. Check out http://www.afrotc.com as soon as you can...the deadline is next week. We have other scholarships too, that's just the best one....some of the colleges offer free or reduced room/meal plan if you are in ROTC.

Answer 2

No, you cannot enlist as an officer right out of high school. In times of a National Emergency (war), it is possible to take an OCS waiver test. This is similiar to the College Entrance Examination test. After passing the waiver test (with more than a just passing grade), you can apply for Flight Training, if you wish, or go on to OCS Training and then receive your Commisson as a 2 Lt. Otherwise, you have to have at least a Bachelor Degree.

Answer 3

No, you can not enlist as an officer right out of high school, you have a college degree.

Answer 4

You must have a 4-year college degree to be a commissioned officer in the Air Force. You would have to complete college while on active duty.

Answer 5

If your grades are good, go for an USAF scholarship. Let the USAF (or Army) pay for your college. Then you owe them 4-6 years. It's a good program.
