What aviation opportunities are available in the Navy?
Whether landing an F/A-18 Hornet on the deck of an aircraft carrier, hunting an enemy submarine in the North Atlantic in a P-3 Orion or preparing to launch a Hellfire missile at an enemy ship from an SH-60B helicopter, naval aviators are constantly called upon to perform under pressure. In addition to flying, naval aviators have significant leadership and management responsibilities beginning with their very first duty assignment. New officers typically are charged with leading a group of aviation enlisted personnel and overseeing various aspects of their squadron’s operations, administration, personnel management or aircraft maintenance. When you are assigned this career path, you can select training as a pilot or a naval flight officer.
