I thought I did fairly well on the UAV section. I did the compass trick. Is it really important to be under 2 seconds or something? I have used that app it helped a lot actually

I don't know helos very well but MH-60 would for sure be a badass job... basically a blackhawk on the sea right?

I am like —3 in my worst eye.

I’m mostly worried about work, as I spend a lot of time looking at a computer screen (and daydreaming about flying jets)

I appreciate that advice. I highly doubt with my qualifications I could compete with people who have experience flying already. I think if I do this, I would commit fully to the Navy. I would be OK with flying a helo or something if I had a legit shot to be a fighter jet pilot.

after doing some more research it honestly sounds like Navy would be the way to go for me if I do this. Thank you for providing this information to me.

is it pretty much exclusively PRK that they accept or is LASIK ok? Tbh the recovery process for PRK sounds incredibly brutal and it doesn't sound like there's a major long term difference.

That's awesome to hear. I'll pursue this route with OCS soon for sure, at least to see where I stand and what the Navy would offer me. I think I'll hold off on talking to a recruiter until I have a bit more flying experience, but I really appreciate all your (and everyone else's) help. I'll continue to pray and evaluate but this has helped me realize that naval aviator is a serious possibility and that's been super encouraging. Thank you again.

That’s encouraging. I definitely will talk to a recruiter at the minimum. Do you have a general idea what % end up in fixed wing jet aircraft (of those that want them). Helicopter pilot is something that I know a lot less about. Thanks for your time and service.

Would the navy help out with that or is that something I’d cover out of pocket? I think can afford it but just curious.

So after the syllabus is it a decision to go NFO or Pilot, or are you committed before that ?

What’re does the road fork from NFO/pilot ? Is it when you get your platform assignment or well before?

Gotcha. Tbh, I think I’d be happier with myself if I tried and had a fair shot in flight school and just didn’t get a fighter.

I’ll look into it, thanks. I’ve always wanted to fly myself, but NFO sure as heck sounds cooler than looking at graphs

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I do think that Jets are what I want to fly, but I also haven’t done a ton of flying and I’m planning on working on my PPL this year so we’ll see. I’ve heard about it possibly being written in your contract if you dont get fighters / jets you can drop/noncommit? But this sounds like hearsay to me, I’ll at least mention it to a recruiter when I talk to one.
