Probably should be private - but he put it out there and I am going to fix his problem for him without him saying it's a problem. Maybe he wants his superiors to see this...

Gramps, I had several classmates of mine who were general engineers who got a pilot slot. As a matter of fact one of them winged a few months ago here, so good luck.
I was an aero major. I think it probably helped cause it showed intrest, but I wouldn't recomend any one try just to get pilot or cause you think it will help a lot later on. It did help a little in api, but a very little, and provided you make it through, api doesn't mean a whole lot.
aero, weather, engines, frr, nav
For the aero class, nothing more than the intro to aero class aero majors take is covered. Some class about engines may help (like propulsion) but really I wouldn't worry about it. They'll teach you what they want you to know at api.

Dude, at USNA, if you've got some free electives, take something you want to take and will enjoy. You'll have a more than sufficient background for API and whatever else may come along. If you can make your ac load less painful, do it, and that in turn may help that gpa of yours.
That's a good point. Backing down from challenges isn't something someone in our business should be about. That said, taking aero classes generally isn't a good way to raise a gpa unless you really love that stuff.
Yeah, exactly, sounds familiar. I was poli-sci, only took the bare minimum required engineering courses. API courses are no problem, better to just memorize the material rather than try to overthink it. You'll re-learn it all in Primary and Advanced anyway. Best of luck to ya, bro.
