Hi.. I have just a few questions about the Navy I was hoping someone
here could help me with. Now for starters, my ultimate goal is to become a Naval aviator, that's why I posted this message here. I will settle for just being an officer in some other department of the navy, since the aviation is a very competitive section. I do feel that I have what it takes to do this though. I just took the ASVAB and made an overall 81 on it. I scored low on the Word Knowledge section that's why it wasn't higher, so I have been trying to build my vocabulary. Anyway, I'm a 19 year old High School Graduate, who didn't do very well in High School only because I never went. And I'm not just saying that to say that, I am a very smart individual who just didn't try in High School. I will, in fact, do alot better in college because I know it's very Important. My first question is: Is there any Navy programs that I can go in as Enlisted and eventually become an officer? If so, how long would it take and what are the requirements and chances of me becoming an aviator? I know you have to have a Bachelor's Degree, but in what? And would going in as enlisted with a navy college tuition program be better for starters, just to go ahead and get the degree out of the way and then try for Officer? If I do go in as enlisted under a college program do I serve my four years then go to college paid for by the navy, or do I go to college while doing my four years? I don't want to go to my recruiter and ask these questions because he recruits enlisted and I don't know where an officer recruiter is around where I am from, so I feel I would get better information and opinions from news groups like this. By the way I do have 20/20 in both eyes and being physically fit is not an issue. I was just thinking that because I didn't do to well in High School that it would be harder for me to eventually become an officer/aviator..? I made pretty much C average in History and English, but I made As and Bs in Math and Science. Any help would be appreciated, Thank You for your time! Michael |
