I'm currently a wheeled vehicle mechanic but have always been fascinated with anything aviation. I'm hoping I can reclass to any kind of aviation mechanic. If that isn't an option I will leave active army and attend this school and get a degree in something I've always wanted to do. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I went to Hallmark Institute of Aeroutics in San Antonio Florida for General and most of Power Plant. That school was a diploma mill. Then I went to Embry Riddle in Daytona. In 3 days of classes I had learned more than my entire 7 months at Hallmark.
Embry Riddle is to aviation what Harvard is to Law. It is a professional (expensive) school. The Prescott campus is pretty neat, but Daytona was great. Some of the instructors are also engineering teachers. They fail engineers that do not design things that mechanics can work on. They are insanely expensive, but the stamp on your resume will be worth it.

CPL(P) (Join to see) I lived right next to the campus in Prescott and you might notice that I have a bit of education from Embry Riddle. SFC (Join to see) SFC (Join to see) . I have not been paid to endorse ER but I have vast experience with it personally and with those who obtained part or all of their education there. I am still here. They "kept them flying" as Gen Dugan once advised me. You are still here. Ask the people who are flying you around, keeping them flying, fixing them to get them turned and burned ASAP where they learned. I can guarantee there will be ER attendees/graduates in the education chain.

I forgot to mention, this is a job that can give you the world. You are required to have an A&P in order to touch any US aircraft. That is something that you can take whether you live in the Philippines or Italy. It opens the world.

Embry-Riddle is the finest civilian aviation school in the country, and one of the finest in the world. You wouldn't go wrong, to go there. Spendy, though.
