My dad was one of you!! He was awarded his Navy wings in Pensacola on November 28, 1947. Eventually, he became chief test pilot for Bell Aerosystems on the Bell X-22A.
This is my dream man. Still in school for another year but already studying. Thanks for putting this video together so I could have a vision of the future… hopefully!
I am in flight school now and I got a 58 7/8/7 on my ASTB. Draw from the Barrons flight aptitude test book. It is the closest in my opinion. Also, it sounds crazy, but pick up video games. It will help you out on the hand-eye coordination part of the test. Good luck.
The ASTB isn't bad, and yeah sounds weird but video games actually helped a lot, the main issue is the OAR portion and honestly just go through an SAT prep book and just go over algebra they navy is in need of pilots rn across all platforms btw
Hey, I have a quick question for you. By the time I graduate with a bachelors I will be 26 YO, is it going to be too late to get a fighters spot in Navy?
+AssyrianKing4ever I believe the max age is 27 years old. Please check with your local Navy Officer Recruiting Office. More than likely you will go through OCS with an aviation contract.
+AssyrianKing4ever You'll be age critical but I got picked up when I was 25 I'm 26 now and waiting on OCS ,you can start the process before you graduate too!
+AllThingsFlightSim Sounds great. I didn't join Air Force ROTC this past fall (that was my last chance) because I didn't think I would have enough time to study for AFOQT. I think I will do OTS when I graduate. Bottom line, I gotta go and talk to recruiters outside of my school but sadly they have a very limited knowledge on this topic. Glad you got picked. It must be some exciting time for you. Did you do OTS or ROTC?
I didn't do ROTC either if your interested in being a Navy pilot,you need to get the ball rolling as your age critical if you want to join the Air Force you have till your 29 ( I think)
