Default Navy College Programs

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
