Focus on getting accepted to OCS. To give you a rough idea, expect you spend 6-9 months from the time you first talk to the recruiter to your OCS start date. Basically you need to just have turned 26 or be younger due to how long the process takes. Talk to an officer recruiter and state you are interested in becoming a SNA (student naval aviator). You will then schedule an ASTB-E to see if you qualify. Think of it as the Navy and Marines form of the GRE. It will test multiple things ranging from math, english, spacial orientation, hand eye coordination, basic aviation knowledge, and etc. There are plenty of study guides out there. After the ASTB-E, you will work on your packet. Thats consist of medical exams, background checks, motivational statements, letters of recommendation, transcripts, and several other items. Your recruiter will help you with that. Once you finish your packet you will submit it for a board. You will then wait for a month or 2 to find out if you are Pro Rec'd or rejected. Then you will wait for a couple of months for an OCS date . After that you will go to OCS for 12 weeks. Once you graduate from OCS you then will go down to Pensacola.
To give you an idea here are the stats from a board a few months ago. The only stat that will make sense to you is the average GPA and the number of applicants. The other statistics come from the ASTB-E
There is no guarantee what you will fly. That is based on what the Navy needs at the time and what is available.
