>>6659296I'm not the end all for this info. I spent my time in the USMC and it was not compatible with my personality. Granted, there's a huge difference between being enlisted and an officer. My goal was to fly but at the time I was 1.) too short, and 2.) bad vision, so I wasn't going to earn wings that way anyways.
Your mileage may vary. My only major advice would be to avoid Embry Riddle. Good way to get a quarter million dollars of student debt and land in an industry making 30k a year.
