I love flying so I decided to go in as a Navy pilot. My recruiter told that it is fun and that it is very competitive. So this question came upon me. I am just curious and I want to know all about being a Navy pilot. I want you to tell me everything that comes to mind. Go all out, tell me about the schooling, what it takes to be a pilot, tell me about the paygrade and when will I be able to fly. Tell me is it fun can I choose to go to a ROTC program in college. So just tell me everything that you can possibly think of when becoming a Navy pilot. PLEASE HOLD NOTHING BACK!!! All information is greatly appreciated. HOWEVER, this is a competition for ten points so the most amount of information gets the points.

I'm not a Navy pilot but my son was planning on becoming on before he decided to concentrate on becoming a SEAL...here is a little information on becoming a NAVY Pilot.
Also by using the link listed below you can find out more about the SUPER United States Navy!!!
Pilot training
Naval pilot training is available to commissioned officers of the OCS, U.S. Naval Academy or NROTC. Flight training commences at Milton, Fla., or Corpus Christi, Texas. Upon completion of primary flight training, students receive orders for one of four aviation fields: jet, prop (maritime), prop (aircraft carrier), or helo. After successful completion of advanced flight training, student pilots receive their wings and are designated as naval aviators. Active duty obligation is seven years for prop or helo and eight years for jets from date of designation. Total time in training varies depending on what aircraft training pipeline a person is in.

Flight officer training
Naval Flight Officer training is available to qualified commissioned officers. After the completion of basic NFO Ground School, officers have the opportunity to specialize and receive advanced training in one of the following categories: antisubmarine warfare, electronic countermeasures (ECM) evaluation, radar interception, airborne early warning or bombardier/navigator. NFO wings are received upon completion of Advanced Training. Active duty obligation is six years from date of designation as a naval flight officer.
