Depending on wether you are going active army, or a reserve component, there are a few things you'd have to do.

If you are going active army, getting an aviation slot isn't easy. Lots of future officers want to be in aviation, but its not for everyone. In order to get aviation in AD, you generally have to be in the top 10% in the country in GPA and you need to score well at LDAC (A course you take between junior and senior year). If you do that, you have to take a flight physical, which is a pretty intense medical physical that you have to pass.

If you do reserve/national guard... you will have to take the physical just like AD, but you go about getting the job differently. Basically you find an aviation unit and talk to the commander about open slots he may have now or in the future. If he has any, you interview for the position. If the commander likes you, then you get a guaranteed slot as a member of that unit.
