It's EASY as hell to become an officer in the Air Force, and/or the Army. All you have to do is get a Bachelors degree and you are set. Then you head off to OCS (Officer Candidate School) and you are a 2nd Lt. Some people drop out and/or get kicked out of OCS for lack of performance/leadership qualities but it's really hard to go that far. Just do what you are told and pay attention and you'll be fine.

Zen, you need a Bachelors degree to become an E7 ?? I never heard of that but maybe you are talking about needing some college credits to gain that high of a rank.
