If you are interested in being a naval aviator, that path would probably be best explained by moderator USMCFLR who is a Hornet pilot and would be very able to explain it. Those guys are generally well educated, and naval flight school is very competitive.
If you are interested in being and enlisted naval recruit who has access to a flying club or flight training programs designed for enlisted men, I doubt if there is very much in that regard but I do not know for sure. I do know that the military has funding designed to help enlisted people obtain flight training through privately operated Part 141 flight training schools, and I think that path may be the most applicable to your situation, but again I really do not know much about it. Rickair7777 and some of the others who are former military may offer some advice on how to follow that path.
