Hi,

I'd love an honest answer to my question. Basically, it was my biggest dream to become a fighter pilot around age 13. However, our family had immigration problems, and not until last year did we finally receive our green cards after living in the US for 20 years. Not to mention my eyesight is horrible, but I just heard that the Air Force will allow eye surgeries now to correct vision.

Now I am 23, I have just graduated from college with a degree in Biology, and I am thinking about going to veterinary school. Being a pilot is always on the back of my mind though. I figure by the time I am 25-26 I will have become a citizen. So will it be possible to become a fighter? I know most fighters will have very technical engineering degrees(IMO biology and how cells work are more complicated than any man made machine that will ever be built), but I just want to know what steps I would need to take to reach my goal, if even possible.

Thanks

At 26 you will be right on the line. BTW a biology degree will never be an engineering degree or a hard science (chemistry, physics) degree no matter how much you hype it (I have an engineering degree and biological process are part of it but if you cant do differential equations or advanced math its not the same). 28 is the cut off but 26 will make you marginally competitive and you would have to do an OTS route.

Oh yea thats right im here, lol.
