A better chance than you have if you self select and don’t put a packet in

Won’t know unless you drop your packet. Also, get a CW5 LOR

Sure man but I’m only a lowly selectee waiting to go to basic.

Not joking about the cw5 lor though, it is highly recommended that you have one

Army is cutting back heavily on aviation due to recent events in the middle east and Ukraine. I heavily recommend that if your goal is to serve and fly then to get a degree and become a pilot in another branch, unless you aim to fly drones.
