[QUOTE="Gordonfan24, post: 9201388, member: 83992"] I saw FLYIN's thread about Marine aviation and that was very useful. I'm looking more for opinions on [i]Naval[/i] Flight Officers (and Aviators) in particular. At the moment, I can't say I'm ready/interested in talking to a recruiter. I'm not in great shape (5'10 235), for one... but I'll go to a recruiter once I do all my homework. Anyway, what kind of process am I looking at if I wanted to become an NFO or Aviator? Route 1: Apply for BDCP before graduation... graduate with my two degrees (one in Mech. Engr. and one in Aerospace Engr.)... go to OCS and commission... then flight school, etc? Route 2: Graduate with said degrees, then OCS and commission, then flight school? Like I said, FLYIN's thread was very useful. I'm just not 100% sure about the variations between the Marine route and the Navy route. I am on the fence between Aviator or Flight officer, but I am leaning towards the latter. I apologize if this seems uneducated or incorrect. It's just that I always hear "the only dumb question is the one that goes unasked." And this is a program I might be interested in, provided I can get in shape and get my GPA up (2.92 now). I want to follow in my father, uncle, and grandfathers' footsteps and serve my country; I am sort of doing so (in my own way) with an internship at NAVAIR, but I want more. I appreciate any input or experiences. And as a side note, thanks to everyone in service or prior service! [/QUOTE]
