  • having been a dork bugger eater for 29 years, through command of a strike training squadron, I can attest you can be a basket weaving art major too. It does not matter what you did as a degree (in flight school), it matters what you DO. (and it certainly doesn't count at ALL what you talk, talk is cheap.). Engineering might make flight school easier for you, as you will be more familiar. Some of the best sticks that flew on my wing in combat were poli sci from Harvard tho....

  • @RunningSwimmingMan Most jet dudes are dorks and bugger eaters so that's probably why they're engineers.

  • @Gabe2590 Yes... Isn't that the truth... I think only roughly half of the Navy pilots have Engineering degrees of some type. A lot of Poli-Sci, English, and History Majors. Of course, those Humanitarian Majors will most likely end up flying helos or large fixed wing aircraft. The Engineering types seem to have planned their life around Flying Jets, so most of the jet guys are engineers, not all, but most, conversely with helo's.

  • @Gabe2590

    Yes I know.

  • @HDaviator By those degree's I meant Naval Aviators with those degrees... btw

  • @Gabe2590

    Yeah... but what jobs can you get with an English or Political Science degree? Engineers are in very high demand. Its not about whether you wan't to go to the air force or navy, its about job prospects once you leave service, or if you are discharged for example. Its basically a plan B. Apart from the fact that having an engineering background, specifically mechanical or Aerospace, improves understanding of complex aircraft system making, if anything, training easier.

  • @HDaviator The air force likes that. The navy really doesn't care. I've seen guys with Political Science's degree or even English!

  • @Gabe2590

    And you must be in college to attend ROTC.

    If anything, glider training might be a little beneficial.

  • @metaknight95 You... you must have at least a bachelor's degree to be a Navy officer...

  • im 16, and after i graduate highschool, im joining the Navy and doing ROTC so i can be 1 step closer to doing what i've always dreamed of!

    does it help if im working on getting my pilots license as some type of experience with aircraft?
