My thinking right now is while i wait to be healed back up to 100%, i will just get a semester or maybe my freshman year at college out of the way, and then during that summer join the Reserves, then apply for PLC after i get back. Do you think that would be a good path for someone to take? Also, dunno if it means anything, but I scored a 97 on my ASVAB, so would that help my chances of getting accepted to the PLC program at all? And I am also working towards getting my civilian pilots license as we speak, so do you think that would increase my odds of getting into the Aviation community? Also, my eyes are bad, so i would have to get PRK lasik, which im sure would lower my chances of getting in. Just curious about the thoughts of someone who is doing basically the same thing i want to be doing 4 years from today. Semper Fi LT. and thanks in advanced
