I don't know the actual answer to your question, but you might want to clarify your goals as the answer will vary accordingly. There is a difference between Naval Aircrew, which is an enlisted crew position in aircraft, and a Naval Aviator which is an officer and a pilot. Then you have the coveted Naval Flight Officer designation, which is an officer airman but not a pilot. For the record, to which do you aspire?

I’m sorry I thought naval aviator stands for all pilots,nfo, enlisted aircrew but I aspire to be an enlisted aircrewman

There was a guy on here named “igloojam” who had the same issue…decided on NFO…but I think ended up flying helos. He winged in 2018 and went to the west coast but hasn’t been here for quite a while. Given the timeline he should still be around the navy.
