We had a former AFTROTC guy from my college come back on tuesday of last week. He is a B1 pilot. My classes are about 80% AFROTC guys w/ me and another AROTC guys and a few civilians. He talked for a while and then got into how there is NO place for a pilot in a bomber or even a fighter. There are no manual targeting system that requires a pilot to have eyes on the target except in the A-10. He it headed to some R&D stuff now and strongly believes that A-10 pilots are the only ones that wont be staring at a computer screen in a few years. You should have seen all the AFTROC's guys eyes tear up.
Doesn't bother, me. I've flown in military craft before, and I just love being in the air. I don't even need to be a pilot, I'd just settle for Nav, or air battle Mangager.
Good luck tho! If your AFROTC unit is anything like the one up here (DET 028, about 400 strong) you NEED to get out and PT on your own. The workouts they do are comical! They had some hot aerobics instructors come in one day however. We were all gathered at the door....

Yeah, this is the case with most DET's. But we have really good leadership in PT. Lets just say that we make the army Det look like an aerobics class for expecting mothers. They work us hard.
