read the gouge, all of it, then come back and ask specific questions, or contact your nearest Officer Recruiter. Tooooooo many possible questions for anyone to answer.

You have basically three options:

1) OFFICER CANDIDATE SCHOOL: Complete your college degree, and earn your Bachelor's (in whatever degree you are interested in, just get the best grades you can), and put together a package to apply to become an officer in the Navy or Marines, and pursue becoming an aviator.

2) NROTC: Through a participating college, attend NROTC classes and complete your bachelor's degree. Your senior year you will go through service selection, where based on your GPA, participation in NROTC, you will find out if you made it for the aviation program or based on the needs of the Navy, you have to do something else instead.

3) USNA ACADEMY: Put in an application to go through the Naval Academy, go through those four years of "fun" and get your commission, same thing, senior year, go through service selection to find out if you made the aviation pipeline or not.

Those are the "quickest" routes available to you, for others like myself, we enlisted out of high school or whatever, and worked our ways up the ranks, and got commissioned through various programs that would not be available to you.

Hope that helps, best of luck.

I'm not going to be much help, but I'll try my best. I would think that you are on the right track with your PPL. The aviation degree and the PPL will help you with taking the ASTB (Aviation Selection Test Battery). Although, I think that you need to have a Bachelor's degree to be an Officer in the Navy. Again, I'm going to be a Marine Corps OC so I dont much about the Navy, but it can't be too much different.

Secondly, stop by your local Navy recruiter and tell them your situation, and they should get you pointed in the right direction. The other more experienced guys on this board will let you know the specifics. I just hope this helps a little. Good luck and God bless.
