Should i join the air force to be a pilot or not? I'm wondering if i should join the air force to be a pilot, and i wish to be a cargo pilot and have a commercail air line licnese. Or should I learn how to be a pilot in flight school and spend $15,000 to have a commercial pilots license. What way am i more likely to get hired as a ups pilot or fedex?

Really, if the only reason you're considering joining the Air Force or any other service branch is to become a commerical pilot then you'll be better off just taking civilian flight school training. Remember if you're lucky enough to be selected for pilot training and make it through you'll have to committ to at least 6 years, maybe more depending on aircraft type and service requirements. Call and talk to an Air Force recruiter, they'll be able to answer most if not all of your questions. Good luck.
