I Was Selected for a Pilot Slot in US Navy - How to Get a Pilot Slot in the Air Force, Navy, Marines

I also applied to multiple Air National Guard units, which is the "land of milk and honey" in military aviation because you know ahead of time what you'll be flying. However, your pilot scores have to be excellent, you have to "rush" a unit, and you usually need a private pilot license to be competitive.

With the increased age limit in the Navy, I applied and squeaked in at 29 years young. The age limit is currently 32. This was my first time applying to the Navy.

It pays to not give up!
