A few questions for those already Naval Aviators or SNA's:
1. What are the REAL requirements to get picked up for the Navy's flight program. I know the official requirements according to the Navy's recruiting website and my ship's career counselor are to have a college degree and be a naval officer, just like the official requirements to go to Harvard is a 1200 on the SAT and "good grades". What do I need to bring to the party to be a guarentee?
2. It'll be about another three years before I put in a comissioning package (I have to finish my current enlistment and then my bachelors degree), but I'm trying to study up now so if/when I make it to API and primary it'll go easier. What are the textbooks currently being used at both stages of training?
3. and lastly, based off of upcoming retirements, how do the quota outlooks/demands for new aviators look over the next few years. I know over the next two to three years a there will be a lot of first classes and chiefs retiring as they hit the 20yr mark, and I'm wonder how things look on the officer side of the house, specifically in the aviation community.
Anyways, sorry to make this so long, and I appreciate any and all replies. Thank you, and good luck to all you in the fleet.
