I have many questions. Literally since being an infant I have wanted nothing more than to fly in the military. Now I am a graduate engineering graduate with a BS (shortly to have an MS degree). I am inches from signing a contract for Navy Flight Officer. However, I have many questions. I am desperate to get answers as I have a 60k$/ year coosh job wanting my response asap. I would greatly appreciate your help!
First of all, my recruiter seems to be a good guy. However, I want to double check everything he tells me. I have a heart condition, for which I had corrective surgery when I was 12 years old. Now I am in INCREADIBLE physical condition. The recruiter said he could get me a waver no problem. Does this sound in line? Are people with wavers still able to fly???
Next off, what does the Navy flight school entail?? What is the waiting period to get into it upon completion of OCS. Furthermore what is the washout rate for flight school? What becomes of those with such unfortunate fate as to not complete flight school?
What sort of aircraft to NFO's normally get? My dream is to fly in an F14. What kind of job security is there as an NFO... I hear many of the tasks they perform are being replaced by computers. Lastly, what sort of opportunity for advancement is there??
Is it worthwhile to have a engineering master's degree in the navy? I'm not sure if I should finish my degree then go to OCS... or just go to OCS now.
Any other miscellaneous information or further comments would be great too. Again I really appreciate the help.
