My info is 15 years old, but in 1993, the only major that you couldn't fly with was Nursing. The reason given to me was "the Navy need nurses more than it will ever need pilots."

Even reserves who are winged/warfare-qualified will be instantly re-routed to a medical designator if they so much as enroll in medical/nursing school. They actually make us sign a form every year certifying that we have not enrolled in med school :rolleyes: |
large chance of helos with navy/marines. I applied to air force OTS at 23 with average grades and lots of volunteering, got a pilot slot and now I'm on my way to 16's. We have the UAV threat so nothing is perfect. Check out baseops.net and airforceots.com

I did the Marine route also, not a bad road to take if you want to fly in the military. Business major with average grades, but I was the "well rounded" student. Time from OCS to wings, about 2-3 years. Then you owe Uncle Sam 10 more years after winging. So plan on a min. of 12 years before you considering getting out (if going the aviation path). Find an OSO and they can gouge you up, see if there are any slots open. Good luck.

For Marines, I know the commitment changes periodically, but the last I knew of was 8 years for jet pilots, and 6 years for helo pilots, prop pilots, and NFOs. I don't know specifics for the Navy.

Box, I'm pretty sure the committment is still only 8 years post winging or has it changed to 10?
