If I decide to apply and attend the United States Naval Academy, do they have training options and flight training programs for those cadets who want to enter the field of Naval Aviation?
Edit: i answered my own question: http://www.usna.edu/Admissions/professional.htm <<< thats is pretty sweet….
yes they do give you hands on experience with every branch in the navy and marine corps so that when you are ready to choose wehre you want to be after four years… you 1. know what you want…. and 2. have some experience with it. Thank you to all!
It never used to be. Before you did your 4 years at the academy, graduated and if you were accepted for flight training you had to go to 18 mos of training at pensacola. But…I don’t know anymore…somebody from the airforce was saying the other day that some navy and marine pilots were trained by them…while others still got different training the navy offered..makes no sense to me…oh well.
P.S. not to be argumentative but I don’t think a private pilots license gives you much advantage to military flight training…unless it makes you feel more comfortable in the beginning.
you can get like a brochure off the commercial or go to http://www.army.com
maybe you can get it there
Looking at the USNA website, it doesn’t appear so. I think that it is a separate training program after completing training.
I don’t think so! You may be selected to go to flight school after graduation and you can take specialized courses, like aeronautical engineering. The Academy prepares you to be an officer first!
yes they do i want to become a fighter pilot in the airforce and they have classes for that. also you can get your pilots licsenes early and if you join the navy the pilots licsenes wil help b/c only 50 people out of a 100 get to be pilots.
good luck!!!!
I read some where they do. But, I could be wrong. Check out their website.
It is seperate, much like a graduate school. If I remember correctly you can major in Aviation science or something like that. The real training comes later, if you are lucky.
