Hey guys! I'm currently a junior in high school aiming to be a 67J in the Army. The time to apply for college and deciding what I'll major in is coming up, and I honestly still don't know what to major in. All I want to do is fly for the military, and maybe fly EMS helo's once I leave, but obviously that isn't a major. I've heard something in STEM may help my chances on getting branched into Medical Services, but I don't know what people who are looking to be pilots typically major in. Does anyone know what 67J's or 15A's typically major in?

Thanks to all that have answered so far! I'm really interested in chemistry, it's been my favorite class and I'm good at it, but I've been told so many times that it's extremely difficult in college and most end up with relatively lower GPA's ranging 2.8-3.2. I'm afraid my GPA would be on the lower end compared to others that majored in something a little easier and it'll end up really hurting me when it comes to the whole Order of Merit business.

I was picked up as a 15A, my major- History. The Army doesn’t care what you major in as long as you graduate. Getting aviation is hard. As for 67J. That’s medical service. Once you branch medical service you apply for aviation as apposed to being branched aviation from the start. If you just want to fly I would recommend going warrant. My daughter is one of about six electrical engineers graduating from West Point this May. Her assigned branch; yea you guessed it- Artillery. Major doesn’t matter just do the best you can and don’t give them a reason today no. Good luck.

This is a very, very serious program, with extensive STEM exposure, the son of a friend of mine just graduated from it....he's undergrad now elsewhere, however, I've tried to volunteer with them, trust mez they're really, really serious, just as I said, honest....
