I have been researching every topic imaginable on Air Warriors for the past year or so, but this is the first time that I have posted a question. I want to say thank you to all of the people that are so active on here because it has really been a big help to me so far.
I am 25 years old, and I am working towards becoming a Naval Aviator. I was originally working towards becoming a Marine Aviator, but when the pipeline shutdown I switched gears. I have a B.A. in Criminal Justice, and after this summer I will have a second B.A. in Diversity Studies. The main reason that I went back to get this degree was to raise my GPA (2.71). My anticipated GPA after graduation this summer is somewhere around a 3.0. I know that this is not great, but I am hoping that it will get me accepted.
I took the ASTB and scored a 7/7/6 (58). I was told that this was a good score for selection, but I was wondering if you guys thought that I should take it again.
I have several really good LOR's, and I have plently of extracurricular activites. I played Rugby in College, and I have held a full time job at the same employer for the last 9 years.
My main question involves what to do next. I was a non-select for Aviation last November, and I am reapplying with my higher GPA for the September boards. In the meantime I would like to continue to make my application more competitive in case I am a non select again. I have researched getting a Masters Degree from American Military University (around $10,800)or possibly getting my PPL. My dad is an instructor pilot so that would save some money towards the PPL, and I would love to fly instead of go back to school. Botttom line though, I want to make myself as competitive as possible. Do you guys recommend me getting my PPL or pursuing my Masters Degree?
