Okay, this isn't about me...for many reasons. I have a teenage daughter who is in her school's JROTC, has good grades, is considering joining the Civil Air Patrol, and is getting a job to--and I quote--"afford flying lessons", and wants to fly into the "wild blue yonder" as a pilot in the Air Force. She's a teen, so everything is subject to change on a whim, but she has been on this kick ever since she took her first commercial flight over a year ago. In your opinion, aside from attending the AF Academy, what would be a wise path for her if she were to pursue being a pilot?
Thanks.
Thanks.

SGT Dave Tracy if she gets the right scores on the AFOQT to qualify to be a pilot, then UPT will teach her how to fly. If she learns to fly prior to going to UPT, she will sit doing, essentially, CQ duty until her class "catches up to her" in the training cycle.
All this is info from one of my buddies that went through UPT having already known how to fly single engine planes.
Has she thought about AFROTC? She's going to need her bachelor's to be an officer, anyways. There are tons of AFOQT prep books available - similar to ACT/SAT prep books.
