US Armed Forces - MIL Career Choices

Dear Forum:

My son is an mechanical engineering student (doing real well) and presently serving in Iraq in the Army Reserve.

When he gets back he wants to make a military career change and I'm looking for advice, pros/cons, etc of these choices. Please comment if you have advice for this young many:

Pursuit 1: quit college and pursue Warrant Officer helicopter training in the Army (again his grades are good).

Pursuit 2: upon return to US change to AF ROTC and, get degree and pursue USAF flight training, possibly helicopter or transport.

Personally I'd like him to get a degree of some kind whatever he chooses.

Any comments from experience?



Thanks
