Hey Bravo Delta, are you a current student? IP? which base?
I asked cause you've got my plane on your avatar. (I'm an IP at Columbus).
So much for the military :-/

ROTC is a college thing, a commissioning source just like the various service academies as well as condensed OCS/OTS programs. JROTC is for high schoolers and does not really have that much to do with future military service or obligation.
It's crazy how after at least two years of acquiring info on the whole mil pilot thing I never knew this bit of info. I have Brazilian citizenship as well and we'll be applying for American citizenship next year. So I guess it is a pretty tedious process with Brazil, huh? I'm already probably in trouble with them because I never went to the consulate in Miami for the enlistment thing. I should do that soon before they don't let me renew my passport.:banghead:

I'm heading to OTS next month and then UPT after that. I don't know which base yet though, but I'm hoping for Columbus. I know one guy who started there a few months ago with a wife and kid. He says it's great for a family and I have a wife and two little ones myself.
We shall see where I end up! (I hope to hear soon.)

BCT, I'm sure all cases are different, but let me tell you about my Brazilian buddy. He was born in Brazil, became a US citizen later. Now that he cutup his passport, he has a hard time going to Brazil. Brazil won't give him a visa because he's already a citizen, so he has to fly to Argentina or Uruguay, then drive to Brazil because the airline won't let him on without a visa or a Brazilian passport, and US Citizens can't enter without that visa.

Sounds like he just needs to apply for another Brazillian passport.

He will, once he retires from the USAF and decides he doesn't need his clearance anymore.
Hey cencal83406 what about trying to fly for the Coast Guard? I just watch Risk Takers and the CG was featured. They fly Falcon Jets and helos. It looks really cool and like a rush. Makes me want to join!
