Back then I had a feeling the recruiter was just ''after my lunch'' It's easier to find people willing to fly for the Army then it is to find somebody that wants to enlist in the infantry. I got a feeling that me signing would have put him one person closer to his monthly target.

I specifically asked if I could get a contract but, since I wasn't a citizen(with the possibility to obtain a security clearance) , I couldn't legally complete the remaining flight aptidude tests It seemed like the guy didn't really know what to do with a foreign applicant.. can't blame him because there probably aren't that many. Maybe I should have pressured him into doing more research... but shortly after I was told there were no options I got a job offer as a CFI so I went that route. I'm happy with the decision I made. Joining as an enlisted soldier would mean I have to stop (or reduce) doing what I love most. However I would be in the US tomorrow if I could get into Army flight school direct.
