Hi all,
had a quick question. I was curious of steps to become a naval aviator. I'm an accounting major with 3.8 (top of my class) healthy, perfect eye sight, no criminal record. So, basically no waivers. I was curious what steps to follow and my chances. Also, i'm 6'2 170 white male. With that being said, Any advice or chances of becoming a naval aviator.

Also, I got an offer to work in public accounting for Deloitte. So, would it be foolish to turn that down?

Hi all,
had a quick question. I’m too lazy to do any research myself much less read through this website or talk to a recruiter. Will you all just spoon feed me the information so I can continue not having to do it myself?

FIFY

Also, would random internet strangers please tell me how to conduct my life?

Again, FIFY.

Sorry, just looking for some guidance. This is a profound and ultimately a large decision.

There is a difference between looking for guidance and wanting everything spoon feed to you.

I know I fit the Profile i've researched that. I have a STEM major and I need no waivers. But, would I be a good candidate that's all? Also, Is it worth risking a public accounting job and has anyone else been in this situation.

Step one is look through this forum for info, and make a list of questions. Step two is to find an officer recruiter and ask those questions.

Not sure what your current job situation is, but if you need to weigh an accounting job against the chance to become a Naval Aviator, you can guess which one most of the people on this forum will recommend you pick. You can always be an accountant later.

Do they still do flight contracts? Also, will accounting hold me back because its not engineering?

 

[Tycho_Brohe]

I don't know that they call it "flight contracts," I usually think Marine Corps when I hear that, but if you get picked up for pilot for OCS and you pass everything medically, you're pretty much guaranteed to go to flight training unless you fail or request to drop out. If you have a 3.8 gpa, I wouldn't worry about failing academically, so focus on getting in shape.
Your recruiter will arrange for you to take an ASTB, the Aviation Standard Test Battery, to assess your probability of success in flight training. Find some study material on that here as well.

Talk to an Officer Recruiter. This has been explained to you countless times.

There are two different types of people in this world: those who take the initiative and those who like things spoon fed to them. Right now, you're demonstrating yourself to be the latter. Which one do you think Naval Officers are?

OP, you’re asking very basic questions and they’ve been asked and answered hundreds of times on this site. It’s not useful to anyone, including you, to have dozens of redundant life story/basic questions/what are my chances? threads.

Spend some time reading up, especially on the stickied threads. Post once you’ve done that, if you’re still puzzled. Welcome aboard, happy reading, good luck to you.
