Nuke to pilot
« on: Jan 15, 2017, 02:30 »
I'm 18 and fresh out of high school and scored a 93 on my ASVAB.I signed up in June of 2016 and I'm leaving in April of 2017. I wanted to become an F-35 pilot and thought that the nuke pipeline would be the easiest way to an officer position but I don't know what steps to take. If anyone could advise me on the course of action I need to pursue to accomplish my goals that'd be great.

You need a bachelors degree to be an officer. The easiest way would be to go to school and keep your GPA up.

Don't see why you think one rate would be the easiest way to another rate.

So, you "signed up" and you are leaving in a few months. What is the path you are leaving for?
Obviously, signing up as enlisted is not a direct or short path to officer. Aviation and Nuke paths are not even close to each other, except when nukes run the reactors on a carrier. If you want to be around planes - get an aviation rating. If you want to fly them - well, you should be looking at College / ROTC with aviation / engineering degrees.
If your recruiter told you this was a good plan - find another recruiter.
Good luck, thank you for your future service, and life is what happens when you are working on your plans. I was gonna be an architect, and signed up for GI bill...
Remember who you love. Remember what is sacred. Remember what is true.
Remember that you will die, and that this day is a gift. Remember how you wish to live, may the blessing of the Lord be with you

Everything they said is true, pilots need to have a degree and be officers, and starting off enlisted is the long route to both. That being said, I do know a couple nukes who were selected for STA-21 to become pilots.
