What are some things that can help me achieve a pilot slot for the Army?

And I'm quite certain there must he profsnl assocsns of medevac pilots, both fixed and rotary wing, I'd certainly look into trying to join rose, as well as trying to be able to volunteer assign!EMTs with them, maybe during summers, while you're in ROTC...if you're simultaneous membership program (SMP) as well, maybe you could be involved with medevac while you're in ROTC through ARNG or USAR as well, just another thought that occurred to me, to try to get some recommendations and/or exposure, as well....

If there's a mil aero club near you, use it, and get sport and private pilot, imstri!EMT rating, multiengine, maybe also commercial, linking that to your bachelor's, esp if it has aviation there or somewhere you can cross register...net, what major are you going for? Can you go STEM? Elected engrg? Aero engrg? Mech engrg? Being clinical now, would certainly help you in medevac, that'd be obvious to any board, certainly, I should think...if you could do a double Bach, if possible, or double major, doing more bio/pre!ed, just in case you'd ever want to go for flight surgeon, I'm sure you know of the USUHS, look at tier PhD programs, esp in physiology, also pilot workload and human factors. Join AMSUS, AIAA, IEEE (esp their aerospace electronics society), AFCEA, the Assoc of Old Crows (AOC, end electronics group with aero interest, similar to AFCEA), if I think of others, I'll try suggesting them as well...I'd also seriously consider USCG, since their helicopter pilots do medevac as well, certainly, as well as medevac in the other svcs, you might Aldo consider USAF Air Mobility Command ( AMC), for their fixed wing C-9 Nightingale medevac aircraft, or whatever else is presently used, just some thoughts, I'd be most eager to hear more if you'd care to chat, very interesting scenario, many thanks, hope that info was of use and/or interest....

Just do well in ROTC, pass a flight physical and get a letter of acceptance from the unit you want to be in. If you qualify and a unit accepts you, that's it.

If you were going regular army you would have to compete for slots.

I dont think attending flight school on your own will have any impact on the outcome. Being respected in your guard unit will.
