Answer 2

I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone else on here. Only a select few aviators are taken from ROTC progarams, if you want a good shot you need to go to the naval acadamy and stay at the top of your class. I believe the navy only accepts grads with a degree in a engineering field. I've seen some great guys with great grades go through rotc and be denied flight spots, so if you want a fighting chance, go to the academy.

Answer 3

Y E S, Check with a Naval Recruiter about the requirements for a naval pilot. Good luck on the US Navy ROTC at the University.

Answer 4

If you want to learn how to land on an aircraft carrier, join the Navy. If you want to learn how to fly and fight in the air, join the Air Force. Navy pilots spend 60-70% of their time practicing carrier landings, then they get stuck on this tin can with 5000 dudes for 6 months at a whack. Meantime, all the Air Force pilots are spending their time learning how to blow crap up and bag trophy wives at the Club. I spent 3 days on a carrier. That's more then enough for a lifetime.

Answer 5

Simple you can sign up for the Naval Academy in Annapolis Md. or when you go to your college pursue a degree that involves flying and be with rotc at the whole time in college. For more info just call your local navy recruitter they are more than glad to answer.

Answer 6

There's plenty of info available online, including, of course, at the Navy's own website. By the way, the Navy calls all of its flight officers "aviators", as I understand it. "Naval aviators". Anyway, the general thoughts are: good to excellent grades, some leadership, including volunteer activities, good physical condition, and probably a science or math-oriented major preferred. Wouldn't hurt to maintain a healthy lifestyle and a clean record. (Civilian pilots, for example can face disqualification for drug/alcohol abuse, for motor vehicle DUI, etc.) The (uncorrected) vision requirements are not nearly as stringent as they were in, say, your parents' era. Good luck.

Answer 7

Hope you're really good at math! Not to mention in really good physical shape for OCS. It's taught by Marine Drill Instructors, by the way. Go watch "An Officer and a Gentleman". Great movie.

Answer 8

You must have 20/60 max uncorrected vision (corected to 20/20). You must be in excellant shape and have good grades. You need to be taller then 5'5 and shorter then 6'3. You can weigh no less then 120 and no more then 200.

Answer 9

Good grades, a degree in the sciences or business adm, and Navy ROTC is a big help.

Answer 10

go ROTC, major in a techncial major..such as Engineering, and keep a 3.5 GPA or higher, all while participating in a sport, doing volunteer work and being active in organizations on and off campus. it's also a good idea to be in top notch physical shape.
