Is It Too Late to Change Up My Lifestyle and Become a Fighter Pilot?
Question by xxjusxkellyxx: Is it too late to change up my lifestyle and become a fighter pilot?
I’m a 14 year old white female. I’ve been through… a lot, I was born in the inner city area of Baltimore, and brought up in Glen Burnie Maryland. So far, I’ve done poorly. My GPA is 1.25 but I hope to bring it up to 3.5-3.8 before my High School career is over. I’m going to be a Sophmore on Tuesday. I hope to try out for spring sports, also. I work out twice a day and I’m currently trying to apply as an intern at the gym to raise money and pay my own share of the bills. I’ve ‘been around the block’ this includes drugs, abuse, rape, and much more. I’ve stayed away from gangs, and that’s about it.
I have big plans for my next three years in High School, this means, get my GPA up, meet the Senator, enrol in Civil Air Patrol, join sports, get a job, and do some more volunteer work. Maybe if I’m able to fix things and bury my past a little bit, can I make it into the Air Force Academy and be a fighter pilot? What are your suggestions? I’ll do everything possible, even change my name.

I don’t think women are allowed in combat. You can be a pilot, but not a fighter pilot.

so far being a fighter pilot is pretty safe. and you get to drop whiskey pete on iraqi babies, melting their flesh.
this is like zombieland.
It sounds like you’re doing great, but with all due respect I’m not in favor of combative roles for women in the military, generally.
Pray, have hope, and work hard.
If you try hard enough you can change the world.
only you can decide how your life will continue , and I’m sorry to hear that you had such a hard upbringing
– hooroo !
Having been in the military, I can say your past is not AS important as where you are now and where you are headed.
They DO have a keen interest in making sure you have your head screwed on straight and it would be advisable to endeavor to be the utmost you can be if you want to be a fighter pilot. They only take the best and the attrition rate is phenomenal.
Also, if you need to wear prescription glasses, you may consider lasik. You need 20/20 vision or better.
eat some carats for your eyes pilot needs 20/20 vision
Girl you are 14, there is nothing that is too late for you to do. Get those grades up and you can do anything after that. Man, that would be soo cool if you did that. Please just don’t lose sight of those dreams. I wanted to be a pilot when I was your age too. But I let other people tell me I couldn’t, so I didn’t. Don’t let that happen and believe me, you can, especially since you already have some bad experiences in your past to learn from. Too many kids grow up being handed everything and when they get into the real world, they have no goals or ambition. But you are different and that’s why you will be great at what you decide to do. Especially a pilot. Just keep straight-laced from now on 🙂 Good luck!!!!!
It is never to late, learn and work hard at it, you will get there, You are on your way now by wanting to change your ways and better yourself, keep looking forward and never look back, good luck and God Bless.
YES!
YOU DO NOT NEED GOOD GRADES TO BECOME A FIGHTER PILOT!!!!!!!!!
All you need is to have a 4 year degree in ANYTHNG at an acredited college, and make it through officer training and flight school.
THATS IT!
Oh yeah, you need to be drug free too.
