What do I have to do to become a naval aviator

[nocal80]

..I know my grades aren't good enough to get into the Academy, but there are plenty of other colleges that I can go to..

that's all right, they wouldn't let maverick into the academy cause he was duke mitchell's kid, and he got to be a fighter pilot :icon_smil

well here is my plan guys...


1) I will go to a J.C. here in San Diego and get great grades
2) Join a college in my area where there is a NROTC program (There is 4 to choose from so I will apply to all of them)
3) Graduate with a History major or a (Political Sciences degree) what ever one you want to call it.
4)Apply for Flight School, and go from there...

I will be a seinor in High school next year, and I will be getting my Pilots License as well... Does this plan sound good?????????

Why start in a JC? That's just a waste of time. I'm sure State will take you, and USD has a NROTC component there.

Good times,

Brett

That sounds like a good plan. You might be able to start NROTC while in J.C. Just remember to keep your grades up! You're plan seems solid, now you have a goal! If you are going to do that, stick with it and work hard!

Brett is right on. Don't bother with the JC (unless your grades need that much help and you can't get in one of the NROTC consortium schools). But why not cut out the middle man and go straight to the source? NROTC San Diego HQ is located at USD (with a small component at SDSU). Besides the schools Brett listed, some NROTC students also attend Point Loma Nazerene or CSU San Marcos if the others don't work for you. Give the unit a call (619-260-4811, I think) and talk to one of the LTs there and they will give you the best advice from the horse's mouth. Good luck.

thanks a ton guys!!! I figgure that my grades aren't great, but they aren't bad either. I think that a JC right now is the best choice for me. I will have to talk to a recruiter or someone in the NROTC program from USD..
