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.
i was thinking more along the lines of me being enlisted doing whatever, and the military paying for my civilian training as part of the deal. i've googled the subject but cant find anything more specific than saying that education is paid for. i can't access the military part of the forum, so i guess i will have to hope the right person stumbles on and sees this post.
thanks again for all the advice
