I am looking to join the air force as a drone operator after getting my degree. The best route to take for flying would be a 153A, no degree, just very selective. I would go for 153A BEFORE enlisting, don't listen to your recruiters bullshit of 'it'll be easier if you enlist'. The odds of you getting past selection bored as an enlisted are slim, and the requirements are ridiculous. Street to seat is the way.
But if you do TACP bud, god speed and hope to see you on the other end of the sat-com some 5 years from now bud
