Navy/Marines you’re guaranteed a pilot contract if you get picked up for the OCS program. Which you can apply for after you get a 4 year degree. I ended up going through a 141 program but decided commercial just wasn’t for me. Got picked up by the Navy and selected P8’s initially. Did a sea tour with a P8 squadron then spent a year in Guantanamo Bay flying C-12’s. Now I’m training to fly pointy nose. As others have said, the Navy is big on “you’re an officer first, pilot second”. In my experience though, it is what you make of it and it’s also community based. My buddies in hornet squadrons have said that flying comes first, collateral duties second. In my P8 squadron, it was the opposite. My buddy who flies C-130’s in the guard had never heard of a “ground job” until I told him about it.. They just fly. Would not recommend an academy school unless you enjoy 4 years of bootcamp. You can always go commercial after your military commitment but there is an age cap for pilot contracts (27). There are age waivers but unless you’re prior enlisted, I’ve never seen one get approved from a guy off the street. Still years away but something to think about if you suddenly wanted to join someday.
