I am a tenth grader and want to become a pilot in the usaf but my grades are high 70's low 80's for most of my classes what can I do to become a pilot?
You can become a pilot by going to your local airport and finding a Flight Instructor that you get along with, and taking lessons toward your pilot's license. There are several levels of Pilot's Licenses and the instructor will explain what that entails.
You will also need to take the written FAA licensing test. In studying for it, you will hone your math and science skills.
To become a USAF pilot you will have to move your grades in HS up into the high 80's and 90's since only the best students get to fly for the USAF. Try making certain that your homework is done well and is turned in on time, and that you ask the teacher or obtain tutoring for things that you do not understand on the homework. Your test scores would improve, and so will your grades.
You will have to either apply to the Air Force Academy or have flight school training at the college level to have a shot at a pilot career either in or out of the USAF. *************************************************************** Added by: disnyrtl All the above is great but there is more that you should know. To begin: You can pretty much "throw out" what happened in 9th grade since the academies usually adjust the grades starting with 10th and up. This is because of the different school systems throughout the Nation. Having said that, you do need to get your grades up, but this is not the only thing that they look at. You need to be "well-rounded" which means they not only look at your grades but other factors to "define" you as a person. SAT score: they take the highest score so start taking the SATs as soon as possible and as often as possible. IF you score bad the first time take it again, and again...make sure to take some prep courses. Extra Activities: join clubs at school, volunteer, focus on a activities that shows that you can not only be on a team (i.e. Track and Field, football) but that you can also LEAD a team as well. My biggest advice: Join Civil Air Patrol (CAP) which is an official Auxiually of the USAF. Here you can get a taste of what it is to be a team member and grow and develop into a leader. CAP has several missions including: the cadet program, aerospace education, and search and rescue. There are many CAP cadets who have gone on to not only the USAF Academy but inot other military careers as well. CAP can even help get you into the Air Force Academy's Prepatory School which is a place you can go to if you don't exactly meet the requirements of the USAFA but you show promise. CAP also has: scholarship programs that can assist you with (or completely pay for) becoming a private pilot; an International Air Cadet Exchange (IACE) program will you can spend a few weeks during the summer abroad; leadership training (those who become cadet officers by earning their "Mitchell Award" qualify for advanced rank if they enlist; and many more things I can not even list. You can search for CAPs website through any search engine. If available, join a AFROTC program at school. If you want to help bring up your grades look into taking summer school to see if you can retake a class that you did not do so well in before. Don't forget that you can get a nomination and/or letters of recommendation from your state senator(s), local representatives and even your Governor. Each of these positions have a limited number of people that they can recommend and have attending the each academy at a given time, and most of the time it is as easy as asking for it by sending a well though out letter simply stating why you think you are worthy and asking for their support. Trying to get into the USAFA is a competitive process, but don't give up. I was accepted into both the USAFA and West Point and I got all "F's" in 9th grade. (I chose USAFA) The point was I became driven in 10th grade, joined CAP, focused on my school work and the goal of getting to the USAFA and I never let anything else hold me back. You can do it to…..just remember one thing, make sure to schedule some fun time for yourself too.

Is it true that in the Marine Corp that if you wish to become a pilot that you are given that opportunity to become a pilot without having to compete for a position like in the navy and air force?
As a Marine Corps Officer Candidate you have the option of securing a position as a pilot only if you pass the ASTB, graduate college, and pass the flight physical in Pensacola, FL. The competition is at The Basic School where your grades/performance will determine the choice you have in what you want to fly. Good grades = first pick in air craft.
What grades are needed to be a airline pilot?
its not a case of how many grades you need, its more based on what grades you have. to begin a pilot training course you need at least a C in science physics, chemistry, B/C in maths and decent knowledge in geography and it can be very handy to have a second language. with average grades in mainly science and maths, you can then go to apply for a place at a pilot training course. they will look at the appclication form you would have filled out for them, took into account your grades and A-levels and they will then decide whether you are intelligent enough to begin the course. in the course they will sign you up to classes to increase your knowledge in the required fields, make you sit some exams which will allow you to qualify to pilot classes/lessons. that's how i started off anyway. hopefully that answers your question.
