Depends on when you apply. In the past some aviation diplomas have been specified as acceptable until you get a degree. There is a list of which schools are ok. The only one i know of is Selkirk.

You will still be required to complete a degree eventually.

Direct entry (pilot training without going to RMC) is opened as needed to supply enough candidates for flight training (or any other field). Sometimes to people who already have an undergraduate degree, sometimes to people who have an approved diploma, sometimes to anyone who shows up and has perfect eyeballs.

To find out what the current situation is, talk to a recruiter.

Just be aware of what you're embarking on should RMC be the course open to you. Once you sign on the dotted line, you are OWNED for a period of 10 years. Also be aware that RMC is a $40,000 degree, shoved up your ass. One nickel at a time.

Don't percieve this as a diatribe against the military, but do be aware of what you're doing.
