Hi all, I have been interested in joining the Navy for quite some time and have been looking a lot into different career paths and the two career areas I've been looking at is Medicine and Aviation.
I just recently graduated from college with a B.S. in Natural Resource Conservation and have been working on wilderness trail crews for the past two years. During this time I became CPR/First Aid certified and have been involved in a few situations where this training needed to be used for people on the trail such as heat exhaustion, dehydration, broken bones, and cuts. These scenarios made me even more interested in medicine and the potential to have a career in it. However, I've loved flying in airplanes since I was young and watching air tankers fly overhead fighting fires is quite a site to see.
The careers I'm interested in are Naval Aviator, NFO, Aerospace and Operational Physiologist, or Flight Surgeon. I'm planning on going back to school for a second bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering since I believe that it is a degree that would be a good fit for aviation and then depending either a master's in Physiology or onto medical school which the engineering degree could help with prerequisites.
I know I'm kind of all over the place. I'm just interested in too many things and really want to join the Navy and specifically in an aviation field. I would really appreciate any thoughts or advice. Thanks!
