sup soldiers/ soldiers to be from ft eustis, va...
I am currently training as a 15R, when I get back to school in January I'm contracting as an ROTC cadet.

my question is simple, I want to be a pilot in the active army, but I also want to get my masters degree. I want to know if I commission in the guard, so that I can finish school, would I be able to switch to active duty as soon as I finished my degree?

and if I can would I be able to stay in the aviation branch?

thanks in advance

lots of factors involved... I know right now for you to switch from guard to active, it requires the 1st General Officer (for us it's our ATAG) to approve the request. If they are going to invest in training you, especially as a pilot...I doubt they'd be so eager to lose you to AD.
